Digital musical theatre applicants must include a dance video as part of their application. The required combination is provided in the link below.
Please note that the department will NOT consider clips from a show you have previously performed in or a video of your own choreography. You must perform the provided combination.
For the dance portion of your digital artistic review, you will learn a combination by watching a video and then record yourself doing the combination. In order to make it as close to an in-person dance call as possible, you must be ready to record yourself BEFORE beginning to learn the dance combination.
