History

   The Juilliard School was founded in 1905. With about 

100 students attending at first, the school grew rapidly 

with the demand of high quality musical training. 

Composer William Schuman later established the Dance 

Division in 1951 with Martha Hill as its first director. 

With a fantastic faculty at work, The Juilliard Dance 

Division soon became the first major school to combine 

equal dance instruction in both modern and ballet 

techniques.

Admissions

To apply for The Juilliard School, you must fill out an 

application online at the school website plus a $100 

application fee. Dancers must be a high school graduate and 

endorsed by principals, counselors, etc.You must submit a 

recommendation letter from your Language Arts or History 

teacher showing that you are mature and a hard worker. 

Dancers have to submit an extra recommendation letter 

from their dance directors as well. Appliers must also turn in 

an essay to which the school board will assign you a topic for 

you to write. This gains insight on the student and gives the 

school board a chance to get to know the student. The 

students may turn in their SAT scores, but they are not 

required.
