We would love for you to join our program, which is open to anyone who is interested in dance regardless of skill level.
Dance Placements
This year, our dance placement classes will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2025 at the following times in the AEC Dance Studios:
10-11:30am Ballet; 11:45am-12:30pm Pointe
or
10-11:45am Contemporary
Placement is for incoming new-to-school 7th-12th grade students, current CH students wishing to join the dance program, current CH dancers wishing to switch dance genres, and current 6th grade CH students.
If you are a beginning dancer with very little or no training, or there has been a significant gap in your training, you do not need to attend placement and can register for Dance 1.
If you currently take dance or have significant ballet and/or modern dance training, please fill out the
Dance Placement Questionnaire for EITHER the ballet or contemporary placement class and attend the class for the style you’d like to take.
If you are a new Campbell Hall student in grades 10th-12th and would like to enroll in both ballet and contemporary for the school year, you will need to attend just one placement class and will submit a video for the other style.
If you are unable to attend the placement class, you can submit a video. Below you will find links to videos you can follow along to film your audition video. This is optional; you are welcome to come up with your own exercises if you prefer using the guidelines on the Dance Placement Video Guidelines page. Remember to use your best judgment on whether or not you can safely do the combinations in these videos given the space/location available to you.
