WHAT THE PANEL LOOKS FOR
We’re looking for confidence, passion, and joy! Show us how much you love what you do and apply everything you’ve learned at the studio.. now’s the time to shine.
Audition outcomes are not based solely on your performance. We also consider:
- Your work ethic in class
- Attendance and commitment
- Presentation (uniform & hair)
- How well you reflect the WPAS values
Graduating Seniors: If you're in your final year and wish to perform a Graduation Piece, please contact the office in person AND via email to confirm your interest.. Graduation is completely based on your proactiveness and communication (we do not invite students to graduate, it must be your choice.)
AUDITION TIPS
1) Start preparing now: Don’t leave it to the night before! Rehearsing early gives you confidence and polish.
2) Wear something you feel good in: Dancewear, activewear, or neat casual. Be well groomed and performance-ready.B
3) Breathe! We’re here to support you. Nerves are normal, but don’t let them take over.
4) Arrive 15 minutes early: Auditions may run on time, and this gives you space to warm up and focus. Find your calm - Whether it’s a calming scent, breathing techniques, a playlist, or just a comfy outfit, do what helps you feel grounded.
5) Bring your music on an iPhone, iPad, or YouTube link and any extra attachments or dongles.
