Register to Attend: Dance Orientation, Dance Placement & BFA Auditions here

Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) candidates will participate in the morning placement class, present a 3-5 minute solo, and have a brief interview with the dance faculty.

Guidelines for solo 

Perform a 3-5 minute solo from any idiom or style that you feel presents you in your very best light. The movement may be choreographed (by you or another) or improvised. A separate studio will be available to prepare for solo performances. We will provide aux cable and adapters to play your music from your phone or other device during the audition.

Be prepared to change easily between:

• soft slippers or thin cotton socks for ballet (no point shoes);
• bare feet for contemporary and African;
• and clean sneakers for hip hop.

Please be prepared to answer the following questions in the interview with faculty:

• What would you like to tell us about your movement background?
• Why are you interested in earning a BFA in Dance at the University of Oregon?
• How do you see yourself working and collaborating with the community in our dance program as well as the greater community at the University of Oregon?
