A headshot (or any front-facing photo of the student’s face)

On the “Audition Uploads” page of the application, please disregard the option for a video submission. A video is not required, and you may leave this blank.
For photos, please refer to the tips below:
Take photos head-on, rather than taking them in the mirror.
Make sure the entire body is visible in the dance photos, so faculty can see full technique.
Make sure the lighting is conducive to being seen well. For the best results, light sources should be positioned in front of a student, rather than behind.
