Audition Type

The Dance faculty believe it is most advantageous to meet you in person for your audition. It not only provides an opportunity for us to meet you, but for you to meet us by taking class with the dance faculty, having lunch with current Goucher dancers, and touring the campus. We certainly understand it might not be possible for everyone to make it to campus. If you cannot attend the audition on campus, we do provide a video submission option.

In-Person Auditions will be held on Sunday, February 9, 2025.

Video Auditions must be submitted by Wednesday, January 29, 2025.

Dancewave Auditionees are not required to re-audition.

Please Note: In order to be eligible to audition, you must first be admitted to Goucher College. If you are not admitted to Goucher, your Dance Scholarship Application will be withdrawn and your audition cancelled.
