Dance Application Policy

The Dance Department seeks young people who show talent and commitment to excellence and a potential for future achievement.   The Panel on Admissions selects prospective students primarily on the basis of their performance at competitive auditions held at The Hammond School or by video/DVD recording (overseas applicants) and in selected outreach opportunities nationally and internationally. All auditions are evaluated by members of the Panel.

The School does not set a maximum age limit. In general, however, the panel will give preference to candidates in the formative stages of their artistic development that will benefit most from the type of training available at The Hammond School.

The Hammond School admits students of any race, colour, or national or ethnic origin to all the courses and activities associated with or made available to students at The Hammond School. It does not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, race, colour or national or ethnic origin in administration of its admissions policies, scholarship or funded places opportunities.
