However, for those who live international, they accept DVDs of the dancer performing both ballet and modern. For them, it is optional whether they want to schedule an audition or not.
Otherwise, the audition process should proceed like this.
There are five auditions, each of which the dancer must be called back to attend. The first one is open to all, then you are called back for the next, and so on. Nothing is based on the city where you audition, and no one else is allowed to observe the audition.
The first one is the ballet technique class. For girls, the attire is pink shoes, pink tights, and a black leotard. Boys wear a white t-shirt, black tights, white socks, and ballet shoes. The pointe shoes are not required for this audition. During the audition, dancers may be requested to leave instead of after. Those who show talent and promise, might be called back for the modern dance audition.
Second, the modern dance audition. The attire is anything, but specifically barefoot. The dancers will partake in stretches in the center, then across the floor traveling phrases.
Third is the solo performance. It can be the dancer's own choreography, or a piece from a repertoire, but they must provide their own music, preferably a CD.
The next callback is coaching. Juilliard is interested in knowing how fast the dance can pick up choreography, as it is a vital skill for performances.
Finally, those who passed through each callback are called again for an interview. They want to know what the interests and goals are for those applying. Only the ones who present agreeable ideas are invited to join Juilliard.
