Ballroom: Refer to above.
Modern: 1 minute solo of your own choreography so that we can see your skill and experience
at creating, shaping, and performing your own original movement vocabulary. We are
interested in seeing movement you have created, not movement you have learned from
teachers, other choreographers, etc. Come in dance attire that allows us to see the
line of the body clearly, as you will be taking an intermediate-level modern dance
technique class that will include elements of composition and improvisation.
