Concordia Contemporary Dance letter of intent
Concordia's BFA major in Contemporary Dance asks why the applicant wants the program, what dance experience they bring, and what they hope to gain. Its application also has a pre-audition questionnaire, an in-person or virtual audition, and an interview. The school says the program is fall-entry only and expects at least two years of contemporary or related dance experience.
Writing format
Letter of intent, pre-audition questionnaire, audition, and interview
What to prepare
- 1Describe a dance practice or performance that changed how you move, make, or collaborate, then connect it to your reason for applying.
- 2Explain what you hope to learn in a program that combines contemporary technique with choreographic inquiry rather than listing performances alone.
- 3Prepare three key words in response to the school's selected readings for the interview; treat this as an interview task, not a substitute for the letter.
How to approach the writing
- Write the letter to the published request: reasons for Concordia Contemporary Dance, background in dance, and expected learning. The page does not state a word limit.
- Keep the university application, pre-audition questionnaire, letter, audition materials, and interview preparation on separate checklists.
Before you submit
The public page currently says applications are closed and still shows 2026 audition dates. Apply to Concordia before booking an audition or uploading a video, then verify the next intake's questionnaire and audition schedule with the department. The school says it will not arrange the audition for you.
