@DramaLove2020 You do not have to apply to schools prior to MARCAS. U Tampa & FL Southern College were on my son’s list of schools to apply to, so he had already applied to them prior to knowing that they would be at MARCAS. It was an added bonus that they both used his MARCAS audition as his ‘real audition’. I believe he needed to submit his dance video to them afterwards, but they verbally accepted him into their bfa programs at MARCAS without the dance. There is no dance call at MARCAS for MT, however, there were also a bunch of schools there auditioning for Dance Majors. I believe it was a separate registration, but occurred on the same day.
My S actually had someone move with him for parts of his recording. He did his dance video on a stage, using an iphone, I think, with the curtain drawn as the backdrop.
