Audition Information

GPFAA Dance takes a holistic approach to selecting new students. We celebrate differences and believe each student can bring value to the program. We understand that a candidate may be stronger in one style of dance than another. Work ethic, positive attitude, authenticity, and willingness to try new things can possibly outweigh the technical level of the dancer, especially at the middle school level.

For our audition process each dancer will be required to provide the following: Artistic Solo, Headshot, Resume and attend an In-person Masterclass. Please read over specific guidelines for each item required.

GPFAA Dance Audition Information

Artistic Solo

Dance applicants are required to submit a 60-second solo, in any style, showcasing their best technical and artistic abilities. They should wear form-fitting dance attire with hair pulled back and proper footwear (or barefoot). If you are performing a hip-hop or cultural dance form, you may wear the appropriate style of clothing.

The video should not be edited in any way and music should be audible.

When recording, make sure your full body can be seen in the frame at all times. Once you are satisfied with your recording, you may upload the video to YouTube under “unlisted” or upload the video directly in the Google form below. Make sure the video is titled your name and GPFAA Audition Solo. For example, if your name is Johnny Appleseed then the video should be titled Johnny Appleseed_GPFAA Audition Solo.

Please refer to the solo submission link below for submitting your solo.
