AUDITION CRITERIA

All applicants are seen by an audition panel consisting of the Director, Principal, and industry experts. The Live it Academy looks for potential and raw talent as well as prior training. Applicants are assessed according to the following criteria:

· Dance: a lack of experience in a dance style does not preclude entry to the course.

  • Ballet/Dance Technique: potential and/or good demonstration of placement, physicality, sense of performance, musicality and co-ordination.

  • Commercial: performance, energy, musicality, facility, speed of learning and physicality.
