Juilliard Audition- Solana Temple

This was taken a couple of months after Solana's actual Juilliard Audition and after her acceptance into the school. On this particular evening, friends and family (who had been at this studio after attending a ballet) pleaded with Solana to show them the choreography she had performed for her audition. Even though it had been awhile (thus forgetting a bit of it), Solana performed it for us anyway, despite not having any time to practice or review it. All considering, Beautiful, Solana!!!

the song is closing- the phlilip glass ensemble if anyone was wondering! :)

[@Jbm0230]

I love the end when she walks off like "That's right, Take it all in." :)

[@KAntonacci251]

Well deserved!!Great job!

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

Yes, lauren, you would never want to do that in the actual audition or performance. This was just a quick review for family and friends. We begged her to show us the dance even though it had been months since she performed it for her audition.

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

Good point, Alex and WRITE... which is why I posted the above. She had forgotten a lot of it (thus walking to her next move and the other hiccups) but like I said... we begged her to perform it for us, even though it had been so long and she didn't have any warm up or review time. I can assure you... a lot more passion went into her actual audition then here, when she was pressured into performing it for her family and friends on the spur of the moment.

[@LizNicoleLove]

Oh wow! Okay haha thank you for your help! I'm not sure if I should audition anymore but it's worth a shot!

[@victoriahoffmann8922]

[@meghangriffin3300]

YAY!I am soooo happy you got in, it was well deserved! I will be applying for Music (jazz) in a few years :)

[@freddychaca6747]

[@BubbleGirl245]

for julliard do you have to only dance contemporary ....i mean i am a sport dancer and a ballerina ....and for julliard auditions i want to do something btw the 2 categories of dancing .....but should i either know very well contemporary??

[@danjelasina1249]

whats the name of this songe plz?

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

She did a live audition because Juilliard never or rarely accepts a video audition. This was shot after we begged her to show us the choreography, months after her audition, at her local studio. She had a few hiccups here cuz she hadn't done it for so long and had no time to review... she was simply being a good sport so we could see a representation of what she had done earlier.

[@lex_g0t_fans393]

mary it dosent have to be dancing it can be art sports language actually wat ever king of talent

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

Hey this is my sister and this isn't her at the actual audition...this is her at our local studio (at least 2 monthes after the actual audition,) showing us the choreo that she did for the audition.

[@elinaq750]

what is the music?, your sister is great! thanks

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

the year she auditioned it was 600 some but that might have only been in the country, they audition in Tokyo and London too

[@TheCelticDove]

Beautiful dance! What song is this, though? I just love it.

[@KaylaRida123]

She is Really Good ! What Type of Dance Does she do in Juilliard ?

[@OFFICIALchristieGirl]

when im older i want to audition for julliard sooo bad! does she like it??

[@LizNicoleLove]

Was it hard to get into Juilliard?

[@carebearsmith00]

beautiful i am hoping to audition

[@dancerblaze]

This is beautiful. Did she send this video in to audition or did she do a live audition for Juilliard?

[@marlena0217]

how old is she?

[@KateErinSophiaAlise]

whoa if you cross your eyes it looks like a duet (:

[@Juni976]

That was great, but THOSE SHOES!!! They drove me insane.

[@LizNicoleLove]

Oh goodness... do you know about how many female dancer usually audition each year?

[@rek2015]

flawless..did she make it?

[@andr3aftw]

I wanna get in Julliard badly...

[@laurenboren94]

i loved it but whe she fixed her leotard in the middle of her dance it think it took something away from her performance :(

[@Cutelildancr07]

@lilabaletpig When I was performing professionally in a contemporary jazz company my director only accepted people that were in college studying dance. We had rehearsals nights and weekends to avoid conflicting with school classes. I ended up getting injured pretty bad and i am no longer able to perform professionally :( but because of that I'm glad I was in school at the same time. However, I was in a lucky situation. Most companies, especially ballet, want you straight from high school.

[@gaelkik]

thats good ! if she goes to jullaird s she will be a beautifull dancer she as a good potential

[@sharenanatassya5317]

i wish i could go to juiliard school... :/

[@lex_g0t_fans393]

yea but mainly in pennselvania k

[@JulioS831]

@xxfashionkittyxx I agree...

[@LizNicoleLove]

So did you actually get into Juilliard?

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

yes i agree but this isn't at the audition its just the choreography she used for her audition

[@lindam3839]

oh i typed in ballet auditions...thts why i was confused when she had socks on and was doing like..slow jazz....

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

this isn't the actual day she auditioned

[@carlyheartsdance]

just wondering.. but are there any specific requirements needed for an audition?

[@ginervaweasley2525]

yes u need to be able to dance duh but u mainly need to be able to dance ballet

[@isadinga]

@victoria Hoffmann same here :/

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

when this was filmed she was 18

[@xxfashionkittyxx]

@XxMakeupGirlyxX already did and got in

[@carlyheartsdance]

this wasn't the actual audition..

[@XxMakeupGirlyxX]

@xxfashionkittyxx u try and get into 1 of the top dance schools in the country

[@WRITEfluidity1]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so! My close friend was accepted into Julliard for dance, but just HARDLY got in, and she is AMAZING. Honestly, this girl is not that good. Her movements are way to stiff-and honestly, walking to your next move? You're at a Julliard Audition, put some passion into it! Her technique is not the best, either...I'm really surprised she made it in. She's a good dancer, but not great, and that's what I expect.

[@Juni976]

Oh, I thought they were what the squeaking was coming from.

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

they except 13 female dancers a year

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

they are socks, :) this isn't her audition outfit

[@JourneyNotTheBand]

neither this is the choreography she did for the audition

[@lex_g0t_fans393]

but juiliard is profe.but if u think u have a good chance u have to not mess up be 100% perfect and get the ememnts right just saying

[@meghangriffin3300]

*auditioning

[@OFFICIALchristieGirl]

uhoh...

[@xxfashionkittyxx]

doesnt flow with the music sorry but im just giving advice im not trying to hate but good job your very good at dancing

[@daydaymindless3053]

1:34 NEVER do that in an audition , julliard is all about the audition , don't walk in your routine

[@alexandroceballos5161]

no offense but I am surprised you say you got into Julliard. I gradated from their about 2 years ago and don't think they wouldve let you in. You are way to stiff with your movements and dont show any passion in your dancing.
