If you are interested in applying for the upcoming academic year, please submit a Late Application Request form. Upon receipt, a member of our Admissions team will contact you.
UNCSA School of Dance offers high school programs for students with concentrations in Ballet (for grades 9-12) and Contemporary Dance (for grades 10-12). The application process includes an online application, required documents, and an audition.
Audition Information
Applicants may choose either an On-campus Audition or a Video Audition.
On-campus Audition
To schedule an On-campus Audition, candidates must submit an application, their transcript(s) and the application fee in time for a deadline. All required application documents must be uploaded no later than two (2) weeks prior to a scheduled on-campus audition. Candidates who upload video will be considered Video Audition applicants and not receive information on how to schedule an in-person audition. To avoid this, do not upload video if you intend to audition in person on campus.
Video Audition
To submit a Video Audition, candidates must submit the application, required application documents, video audition and the application fee in time for a deadline.
Admission into the School of Dance is based on a combination of artistic and academic merits.
