Dance Audition Guide with Planner, Forms, and Scoresheets

Auditions can be stressful – but they don’t have to be! The Holistic Guide to Dance Auditions is designed to help dance teachers, studio owners, program directors, and choreographers successfully adjudicate auditions and tryouts for performance companies, school dance programs, competition teams, individual dance pieces, and upper level class placements.

This two part guide includes everything you need to plan and host amazing auditions for performance companies, school dance programs, competition teams, individual dance pieces, and upper level class placements.

Part one includes ideas for creating a positive audition culture and strategies for adjudicating auditionees holistically, with equal emphasis on technique, artistry, and the vital social-emotional skills that are necessary for successful companies, teams, and productions!

Part two includes an audition planner, audition registration form, scoresheets, and 3 rubrics to help judges adjudicate the dancers based on their technique, artistry, and social-emotional skills like responsibility, grit, and empathy. The planner, rubrics, and forms can be printed and handwritten, or you can follow the link in the document to create your own editable, fully customizable version online.
