Audition Videos for Dancers
Let your dancing speak.
Audition Videos for Dancers are a crucial part of your application—often the first chance to demonstrate your technique, artistry, and professionalism. Directors and companies use these videos to assess how you move, perform, and adapt to different styles, making it essential that your video is clear, high-quality, and representative of your abilities.
Every company or school may have specific requirements, but your video should always be clean, well-lit, and easy to follow. From your technique at the barre to your artistry in the centre, this is where you let your dancing do the talking. A strong audition video can leave a lasting impression—even before you enter the studio.
In addition to good lighting and camera quality, your video should showcase both your technique and personality. Include a range of movement—from basic barre exercises to dynamic centre work—to let your versatility shine. Keep it well-paced and distraction-free.
If you’re submitting your dance audition video for a digital or on-demand audition, make sure it follows any outlined guidelines. Pay close attention to framing, sound, and editing quality, so your final product is polished and professional.
Whether you’re using a phone or a full production setup, your goal remains the same: to let your dancing speak—clearly, confidently, and with purpose.
