转移 to a BFA Program

Looking to transfer to a BFA Program in 跳舞? PCC provides an enriching program that offers the broad-based foundation that you will need to prepare for acceptance and success in a University dance program. 使用 these guidelines to prepare to enter a BFA program as a transfer student.

 Always be enrolled in a 跳舞 Technique Class

To transfer into a BFA program in dance you will need to be dancing on a daily basis, and you should be dancing at the advanced level of Ballet and Modern 跳舞 at PCC by the time you audition for a BFA program. Most BFA programs expect transfer students to be dancing at their 2nd year level of Ballet and Modern 跳舞, which are equivalent to our level 4 technique 类.

在PCC执行

You should participate in a dance performance during at least one semester, but we recommend that you take our 跳舞 Performance Class (跳舞 22AB) to gain the performance and production experience that is expected of a third-year BFA student.

Take Improvisation

All BFA auditions place an emphasis on improvisation, so by taking this course, you will prepare yourself for this part of your BFA audition. By taking this course, you will also become more comfortable as a mover and start to develop your own dancing style. You will also be introduced to 联系 Improvisation skills in this class, which is the basis for most contemporary partnering.

需要编排

One component of your BFA audition will require you to perform a 独奏 that you have 精心设计的. The best way to prepare for this part of the audition is by taking at least a beginning composition class where you will be taught how to create a well-made 独奏. Even if you do not plan on focusing on choreography, contemporary dancers are expected to contribute to the compositional process and to understand contemporary practices in dance-making.

 Complete your General Education Classes

Most BFA programs only accept transfer students who meet the necessary academic requirements of all transfer students. While you are at PCC, you should focus on completing your General Education/Lower Division coursework needed for a Humanities or Fine-Arts degree to meet this BFA requirement. Because each school has different requirements, you should meet with a 转移 Counselor to discuss the requirements of the schools you are interested in applying to.

Get Application and Audition Information from Schools you’re interested in

Each school has a different application deadline and audition dates. 一定要检查一下 with the schools you plan on auditioning for so that you meet all of their requirements.

In addition to finding out as much as you can about the program you are auditioning for, be sure to share with your PCC professors that you plan on auditioning. 我们会 do everything we can to help you prepare for your big day!
