VIDEO AUDITIONS

Due to the pandemic, we will not hold in-person auditions this year for the Janet Seeley Arts Scholarships in Dance. Instead, in addition to your portfolio, please submit a video or video link meeting the following criteria:

Introduction (1-2 minutes):

• Please tell us your name, where you are from and why you want to continue your dance education at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
• What academic interests and/or potential majors and minors are you currently interested in pursuing and why?
• Indicate whether you wish to be considered for the Technique/Performance Scholarship or the Choreography Scholarship, or both. If you would like to be considered for the Scholarship in Choreography, your solo needs to be self-choreographed.
• Include the title of your dance and anything you’d like us to know about your creative process.

Solo (2-3 minutes):

• Must be a recent solo of your dancing in whatever dance style you choose. We are thinking creatively about space during the pandemic and encourage you to do the same. You do not need to record from a spacious dance studio. Please do not submit previous performance footage. We also recognize that you may have experience and skill in several dance forms. In your video, showcase your dance strengths and your passions.

PLEASE NOTE: Your application for the Janet Seeley Art Scholarship will not be reviewed until all materials are submitted. The deadlines for submission are the same as for ED, ED2 and Regular Decision. Applicants with questions are encouraged to contact Michelle Iklé (mikle@hws.edu).
