How to Become a Dance Major

There are two steps to become a dance major at NSU:

  1. Apply to NSU. Complete your NSU application as soon as possible, or at least two weeks before your scheduled audition date. 
  2. Participate in an Audition. You'll take part in a dance audition class and perform a 1-2 minute solo.

Note: You may hear about your acceptance to NSU before you have auditioned. Acceptance to the University does not mean you have been admitted to the dance program.

What to Expect for an In-Person Audition

  • Prepare a solo dance in the style of your choice. Please let us know if you choreographed the dance yourself or if you worked with someone on your audition piece.
  • Participate in a group audition dance class.
  • Immediately following the audition, you'll meet with the dance faculty for a brief, informal interview. This is your chance to discuss your individual academic and artistic goals, for us to get to know you, and for you to ask any questions you may have about NSU's dance program.
