Auditioning for Musical Theatre

Hi thanks for reading :smile:

I absolutely love musical theatre and acting, and I was thinking about potentially auditioning for a musical theatre course after my A-Levels (English Lit, French, Spanish and History). I can act and sing well, but my problem is that I haven't had any dance training since I was about nine (ballet). I was just wondering if anyone of you know of any (good, well-known) schools that don't require a dance audition. If I was to start taking a weekly class now (probably just Zumba as there's nothing else where I live XD) I think I'd be able to get to a decent enough standard by that stage- do you think that decent would be good enough for the movement component if I worked in my singing and acting until they were of a very high standard?
Thanks for reading :biggrin:

All Musical Theatre courses will demand a dance audition of some sort.
It wont be high level but they will want to see that you have a sense of movement, can follow music, are reasonably fit and can 'take direction'. So, doing some sort of dance class before you audition makes a great deal of sense.
