Acceptance
The Dance Division typically accepts 24 students per year (12 women and 12 men) from the entire applicant pool, and does not distinguish between B.F.A., Diploma, Transfer, International, and Early Admission applicants in the audition process.
Criteria for Acceptance - A serious commitment to dance training and a career in dance performance.
- A high level and quality of training. We do not accept students who are untrained. Applicants should have a minimum of three years experience with ballet and modern dance vocabulary.
- A potential for meeting the technical standards of Juilliard’s professional training program.
- Talent and potential as a performer, including a vivid imagination, courage, and emotional accessibility.
- An articulate body promising significant development in dance.
- A willingness to re-evaluate technique and explore new approaches to training.
- Demonstrated musicality.
- The ability to work as a part of an ensemble including: the strength and sensitivity necessary to partner/be partnered, the ability to work openly and honestly with other dancers, the ability to be flexible in the artistic process with choreographers, directors, or rehearsal assistants.
Notification of Admission Status - Applicants who are not called back to the final interview portion of the audition may reasonably conclude that they are no longer under serious consideration for admission.
- Upon completion of auditions in all cities, the faculty will review the applicants who were called back to the interview portion of their audition. The faculty will then select 12 women and 12 men for acceptance, and will usually select a small number of dancers for the waiting list.
- All applicants will receive notification of their admission status (admit, wait-list, or deny) via email
