BA (Hons) Dance: Urban Practice auditions

Congratulations, you have been selected to audition for a place on our BA (Hons) Dance: Urban Practice course.

Can I request an alternative date?

There is a high demand for the limited number of places on our course, and we have more applicants than we do places available. Therefore, if you request an alternative date, unfortunately there is no guarantee that we will be able to offer you one, as the subsequent dates may already be fully booked.

We do understand that it is not always possible for applicants to attend, so we will do our best to accommodate you if you do need another date but cannot guarantee this. To avoid disappointment, please do your absolute best to attend the date that you have been offered.

You can request an alternative date through the Applicant Portal - Your login instructions have been sent to you separately.

What do I need to know to bring before I arrive?

You will need to have comfortable clothing suitable for dancing in, and clean trainers which are suitable for indoor use. Please bring water to drink, and a notebook and pen in case you want to take any notes. It would be a good idea to think about and write down any questions that you’d like to ask the lecturers and/or the current students and bring those too.

All audition material will be taught, so you do not need to prepare any dance material for the audition.

I have an in-person audition. Where will the audition take place?

Our in-person auditions will be held on our Performing Arts floor at University Square Stratford (USS Building). Please report to the main reception desk when you arrive. Please note the address carefully, as there are three different campuses at UEL:

University of East London
University Square Stratford (USS)
1 Salway Road
London, E15 1NF
United Kingdom

Unfortunately, there is no parking available on site.

You will need to arrive at the USS (University Stratford Square) building reception at 1:45pm for registration. Someone will then come down to register you and show you up to the studios. The process is expected to finish by 5:00pm.

What should I expect when I arrive in-person on the day?

Can I bring children or guests?

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate children or guests for the audition process.

When will I be notified of the outcome?

We will notify you of the outcome of your interview through your UCAS Track or we will send you an email with our decision. If you receive a place, you will be required to accept/decline your place as per UCAS deadlines/the deadline in your email.
