Dance Classes and Performance Auditions/Placement

The dance program also offers frequent opportunities for students to perform in works by faculty members, guest artists, graduate students, and undergraduates. Performances are produced throughout the year and auditions are open to currently enrolled CU students.Audition policies and procedures.

Placement Process for Technique Classes

In addition to performances, placement is held for select classes.

Daily Major Technique

The placement process will be held during the first day of class for both fall and spring semesters of DNCE 3041, 4061 or 4081. If you are interested in taking one of these courses, show up to the first class ready to move. The instructor will then enroll students during the first week of classes based on faculty assessment.

Please note that you do not have to be a major or minor to participate in the placement process; we encourage all CU students to be part of our dance community.

Undergraduates

If through the placement process you're not ready for daily major technique class (DNCE 2021, 3041, 4061 or 4081) we will advise you on next steps for thriving in our program.

Graduates

MFA students can register for the graduate technique section of their choice in dialogue with the faculty.

Major Classes

All DNCE classes ending in a “1” are considered daily major technique classes but are open to any student enrolled in classes at CU. Some of those classes, such as Intermediate and Advanced Ballet, Intermediate and Advanced Hip-Hop, and Aerial require a placement process before enrollment. Please reach out to the instructor of record for specific information.
