DSA dance to JC

[lanadelrey]

Full info can be found on the sch’s website itself. The updated version for this year’s DSA will normally be up in April/may. I didn’t audition for RI but normally some sch will require students to perform an ORIGINAL solo choreo of about 1 -2 mins infront of the resident choreographer, teacher in charge and the chairperson of the dance society. Audition process is about an hour, students will be required to learn a set of choreo from the chairperson and perform it in maybe a group of about 5 students infront of them. The process is not easy, for top JCs maybe as many as 40 people will go down for the audition. Solo choreo will either be before or after the set choreo. Academics is equally important, for top JCs L1R5 should not exceed 20 points

I assume the students would have to take GAT as well?

[lanadelrey]

Is GAT an admission test? If it is then I don’t think so.

I don’t think JC DSA has GAT. I’ve never heard about it from my friends who DSAed via sports and academics.

Interesting. I wonder why.

because if the student is deemed academically unfit for the sch, the sch will reject the student even if the student is good at what he/she does. that's what happened to me unfortunately haha

So which JC did you DSA into eventually?

I know of a DSA sports person who has L1R5 of nearly 30 but was accepted by RI. No idea how she did for O levels though, since requirement is 20.

Were there a lot of people trying to DSA into VJC? How many ppl do get into any school through dance DSA? :scratchhead: Thanks!

yes about 40+ people. they have 2 rounds of audition in 1 day. your solo performance first and then based on that, they will select about 15 people to go to the 2nd round which is the resident choreographer’s round. you will learn a set of choreo and then you will have to perform it. after that only 5 person will be chosen. if you don’t do contemp or classical ballet it’s still ok, just show perform the genre you are most comfortable with.
