Dear Prospective Dance Conservatory Members and Parents,
Thank you for your interest in auditioning for the Salt Lake School for the Performing Arts Dance Conservatory. Being a member of the team requires a great deal of hard work, dedication, cooperation, dance ability, and time management skill, but is tremendously rewarding and a lot of fun! We settle for nothing less than well-rounded dancers who are leaders on AND off of the dance floor. In addition, while the team will challenge and help you explore your talents; it will also develop a sense of pride and prove to instill a wonderful sense of reward that will stay with you long after your time on the team has ended.
The Dance Conservatory represents an elite group of performers who are dedicated and inspired to express themselves through the art of dance. This organization involves countless hours of rehearsal to create artistic pieces that replicate professional performance opportunities for the school and community. I am looking for technically advanced dancers who welcome the opportunity to continue their training in choreography and performance. Please read the SLSPA Dance Conservatory Constitution for eligibility and requirements.
MANDATORY AUDITION CHECKLIST:
The in-person audition will be held April 28, 2021, on campus beginning at 9am.
All audition materials are to be emailed to dancer@saltlakespa.org. In the subject line please put the dancer’s name that is auditioning followed by DC Audition 2021-2022. The email should include PDF of resume, transcript including all grades from freshman year and the student’s accumulative GPA, and a dance photo .jpg with a statement about the use on social media.
Thank you for your enthusiasm and interest in the SLSPA Dance Conservatory. I am excited that you have a desire to carry on the tradition of this amazing group of dancers. I expect nothing less than the highest quality of work and dedication from the SLSPA Dance Conservatory members and look forward to the possibility of having you join!
Parents, please be aware that if your student is invited to be a member of Dance Conservatory 2021-2022 you will need to have a physical exam completed by a doctor on file. These will need to be updated every year.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
