AUDITIONS RESULTS for the 2019-2020 School Year

Nevada Union Dance Audition Results 2019-2020

Thank you for attending our audition! The judges and I were so impressed with the high level of talented students. I appreciate all of your hard work and efforts, and I hope you enjoyed the audition class. Our judges’ panel includes guest teachers who are professionals in their field and work with our students in all levels. We watched each student carefully at the audition, and after thoughtful deliberation, we have made the following placements for the upcoming school year. Our determinations were based upon our careful observations of each student at the audition in ballet, jazz, and modern techniques in center and across-the-floor progressions as well as choreography.

The exercises in the center and across-the-floor combinations are taught in our beginning level classes. Mastery of these exercises is expected before a student progresses to a higher level. Oftentimes, we have students in our program who spend two years in our beginning level before progressing to intermediate, and the majority of our intermediate dancers take two or more years in intermediate before progressing to the advanced level. Please know that we place a student in the level we feel will help them to improve and experience success. These results are final and non-negotiable.

If you choose not to accept a spot in our dance program at Nevada Union, please email me at cwadman@njuhsd.com to let me know. It is important for us to have accurate and up-to-date enrollment numbers for our classes.

Registration

Please ensure that your N.U. school counselor has enrolled you in the correct level placement for next year. Beginning classes are offered 2nd and 4th periods, Intermediate Dance is 5th period, Advanced Dance is 6th period, and Performance Ensemble is 7th period (after-school). Freshmen are required to take the course for Performing Arts elective credits because they also have to take Freshman P.E. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors can take the class for 2nd year P.E. credits or for Performing Arts credits. Check your schedule in August to ensure that you are enrolled in the correct class title (“Dance” for P.E. credit or “Theatrical Dance” for Performing Arts credit) to receive the credits you need to graduate. If you are enrolled in the incorrect class, email your counselor as soon as possible.
