Who Can Join Collegiate Dancers?
Any student, regardless of major or track, can audition for Collegiate Dancers. Although auditions are available to everyone who maintains a 2.0 GPA, this opportunity is only available in the Fall semester.
For those who make the team, Collegiate Dancers will act as a class in which they must register for at least 1 credit. The credit level won't change the amount of work expected, it will still be the same. A $30 costume fee is required for this course. It is recommended that in addition to Collegiate Dancers, students also take a 200 level or above technique class (DANCE231R - DANCE496R).
The Dance Society hosts Variety Night throughout the semester. Participation in these is an opportunity to prepare for all auditions by experiencing various genres of dance. Students are encouraged to be involved, to learn and to enhance skills through participation.
For more information, please contact Brother Gary Larsen at larseng@byui.edu.
