Company auditions are only open to current students that have attended at least two months of classes. Students must attend auditions to be considered for company. There will be a $35 audition fee and application form due by Saturday, March 10th. Group auditions will take place on Saturday, April 7th from

Your dancer may receive an immediate callback to audition with the next age group. Please be prepared to allow them to stay. Dancers will only be considered for two dances, solo/duo/trio opportunities and the preprofessional program if the appropriate boxes are marked on their application form.

Participants will be notified by mail during the week following auditions regarding the results and class placement (with schedule) for the upcoming school year. Any questions or comments regarding level of placement will result in immediate dismissal from the team. All dancers are carefully placed in dances and classes where they will grow both socially and as dancers.

Auditions will be closed and parents are not required to stay. The auditions will include a warm up, across the floor work, and an age appropriate combination in the center. Dancers should be prepared to perform in the following styles: ballet, jazz, contemporary/lyrical, hip hop and improvisation. Students may be asked to demonstrate splits, pirouettes, and grand jetes (leaps). All steps will be demonstrated in detail during the audition. Participants are not required to know all of the steps prior to the audition. Female dancers should wear a black leotard, solid black shorts (if desired), tan tights, and either ballet or jazz shoes. Hair should be worn in a professional bun. Male dancers should wear a solid black shirt and solid black shorts and either ballet or jazz shoes. Hair should be groomed and out of the face/eyes. Current company members must bring their jacket and leggings for evaluation. St. Augustine Dance Academy reserves the right to audition new students as deemed necessary prior to the beginning of the 2018-2019 company season.
