My D is auditioning for UArts in Philly and I am curious as to how selective they are. The admission counselor said about 800 audition there every year and they accepted about 135 dancers last year. They don’t have a certain number that they take each year. Part of the audition process is a solo and you can do whatever you want, including hip hop. So, I am wondering how much your training and technique factor into the decision or can you can you get by with lesser technique and good movement quality. Does anyone know how important the tecnique factor is or is it easier to get in there vs. Point Park?
