A message from Salto:

​

Dear Dancer,

​

You've done the hard part (getting into U of M), so now it's time to catch your breath and look forward to your future! For many of us in Salto, dance is a spirit that refuses to leave us without the urge to move our bodies and connect with the music, each other, and the audience. Whether we choose to continue our dance education or chase new dreams, late-night Salto rehearsals become a constant in our busy lives as Wolverines. As we welcome new Saltines this year, we wanted to greet you with a few pieces of advice from our dancers:

​

Early is on time: Arrive 5-10 minutes earlier than the audition start time. Give yourself enough time to fill out the paper audition form, pin your number, warm up, and take some deep breaths. ​

​

Welcome curiousity: Don't be afraid to ask for the combination to be repeated! Chances are someone else has the same question, and we are on your side – we want to see you succeed and dance to your fullest capacity and that starts with having a mutual understanding of the combination.

​

Smile: It is so easy to get caught up in the moment, but remember to smile and show us how much you enjoy getting a taste of what it's like to be a part of Salto! ​Think positive – the body follows the mind, so be intentional with how you want to place your movements and present yourself.

​

Thank you for your interest in Salto – we are so excited to meet you!

​

xoxo,
