Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thank you for your interest in the Gifted Dance Education Program for students in grades three through eight. Students should be advised that the Gifted Dance Education Program is not a recreational program and that there will be some requirements involving in-depth physical, oral, and written work inside and outside of the classroom. Criteria considered by the Identification Committee are based on strong potential in dance as demonstrated during the one-day audition to include rhythmic ability, movement qualities, sequencing, developmental movement patterns and creativity. Formal dance training is not required to be considered for this program.

To initiate the process of identification, students not currently enrolled in VBCPS must submit the completed attached Intent to Audition form to Old Donation School located at 4633 Honeygrove Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 on or before February 1, 2022 by 5:00 p.m. The Intent to Audition form not submitted by the deadline will not be processed. All applicants will be notified of the oneday audition date by email.

The Identification Committee will review the audition results to determine if a student is identified for gifted services in dance education. You will be notified of the Committee's decision by email. Please note specific information on student applications is not gathered from committee members to provide feedback to students or parents. Enrollment in Virginia Beach City Public Schools is required to participate in the Gifted Dance Education Program.

Any questions regarding the process may be addressed by calling Old Donation School at 757-6483240.

Sincerely,

Kelly A. Hedrick, Ed.D. Principal
