Audition Process

Learn

During one of the two learning days*, you will learn 30-40 seconds of choreography. Within the 2 hours, feel free to ask any questions to clarify or go over moves again!

Coming to learning day does NOT mean you are required to audition.  If you want to come to learning day just to learn new choreography, that's fine!

* You must attend ONE and ONLY ONE learning day to audition

Audition

On audition day, we’ll ask you to perform the audition piece in small groups**. After all the groups have gone, you can also showcase your personal style by performing an optional piece (1-minute maximum) to a song of your choice.

After the audition, if you passed, we will notify you and you will have a few days to decide to commit!

** Everyone must come at the start unless time conflicts have been communicated to us beforehand

  • Ask clarifying questions during the learning days, use the dance spaces on campus, be confident and have fun during the audition, and remember that we don't expect the audition piece to be perfect!

  • The optional piece is usually pre-learned and 1 minute maximum. It can be a cover, your own choreography, or a piece you've learned in the past. Essentially, it's a dance that you prepare on your own to show us you dance capabilities and strengths!

    The optional piece can only boost you and you will not be penalized for not doing an optional piece.

  • LOKO specializes in promoting Korean music and pop culture through K-Hiphop, K-Pop, and K-R&B dances! Because of this, we cover a variety of dance styles. However, we do dances to all songs including American pop, etc.

  • On campus there are numerous locations that you can use to practice before auditions. For instance, WSH519/601/Garden Room or PSB atrium. While using these spaces, make sure to respect the area and others that may be sharing the place!

  • Yes, of course you can and we encourage you to!

  • We hold auditions within the first month of every semester, so twice a year in the Fall and Spring. We do not place a cap on the amount of accepted auditionees!

  • We typically have 2 hour practices twice a week. We also perform at a variety of events on campus, so we sometimes have an additional dress rehearsal for those events, but that varies week by week.

  • No, definitely not! LOKO is open to all students of all skill levels. We have many non-Korean and non-Asian members that all share a love for dance and Korean culture. Many of our current members have not had any dance experience before coming to college!
