Dance Portfolio Photos for Auditions

What to include in a dance portfolio for auditions and full-time course applications.

Read the brief

Many auditions ask for specific positions, such as arabesque, first arabesque en pointe or a side extension. Read the requirements carefully.

Headshot first

A clean, natural headshot is almost always required. Keep makeup simple and the background plain.

Technique over tricks

Panels look for clean technique, so choose positions you can hold well rather than the most extreme trick.
