Wilde Lake High School Dance Placement Auditions

I am excited that you have given thought to becoming a member of the Wilde Lake Dance Program! The Dance Program includes dance classes for students of all experience and ability levels from Dance 1 (beginner) to G/T Dance Companies (advanced).  The Companies are made up of the most advanced dancers that Wilde Lake High School has to offer.  The main purpose of the Companies is to PERFORM at various functions that could include Howard County Dance Festival, school assemblies and pep rallies, the annual WLHS Dance Concerts, local performances, and more.  Members of the dance companies and classes are expected to participate in ALL performances.  

If you are uncertain about your dance placement for next year and have prior dance training in ballet, modern, jazz, or other styles of dance, completing the audition is highly recommended so that you may be placed in the appropriate level for the upcoming school year.   If you do not have prior dance experience, you do NOT need to complete the audition.  Simply sign up for Dance 1, our beginner level dance class!  Please note that freshmen are only eligible for placement in Dance 1 - 4 or Junior Dance Company G/T as specified in the HCPSS Course Catalog.  Freshmen are not eligible for placement in Senior Dance Company G/T.

Current Dance Company members are required to complete the audition.

In order to audition, dancers must complete all 3 parts of the audition (below) by the due dates listed.  Deadlines are firm and late submissions will NOT be accepted.   

Dancers will be placed based on technique, performance quality, musicality, knowledge of choreography, teacher recommendations, and application.

I will email your audition results using the email addresses provided in the Audition Application.  Thank you for being patient as it may take a while for results to be communicated.  In addition to communicating the results to you, I will also notify the Wilde Lake High School Student Services team so that they may make any necessary adjustments to your schedule for the upcoming school year.  

 Thank you for your interest in the WLHS Dance Program!  I look forward to seeing you at auditions! 

Warmly,

Holli Tucci
