This comprehensive event gives prospective students the opportunity to experience the Radford University Department of Dance firsthand. During your visit, you will observe dance classes, meet current students and faculty, tour campus and participate in a group audition class including ballet, contemporary/modern and jazz. You will also present a prepared solo of no more than two minutes in a dance genre of your choice.

Please bring any music needed for your solo downloaded to a cell phone. Streaming music is not recommended.

Approximately two weeks before the audition, you will receive an email from the Department of Dance with the detailed schedule, directions, what to bring, and other information to help you prepare for your visit.

We also encourage you to make the most of your visit to Radford by attending the University's Fall Open House the following day, where you can learn more about admissions, campus resources, student life, and the Radford experience.
