2026-27 AUDITION INFORMATION
For the 2026-2027 season, the Loyola Dance Team will be moving into a hybrid recruiting and audition format to align with its adoption of the Common Recruiting Video.  More information about our recruiting process and timelines can be found on our Recruiting page. 

For dancers who were not recruited to the team by March 1 or chose not to pursue that option, we will have Video Auditions! After review of submitted Video Auditions, coaches may either directly offer a spot on the roster OR advance the dancer(s) to a second round, if needed. Video Auditions are different from the Common Recruiting Video and include the below components:
  • Introduction
  • Skills 
  • Required Choreography
  • Solo

Video Audition Open Date: March 1, 2026
*NEW* Video Submission Deadline: May 15, 2026
