All dancers must attend auditions to be considered for company. There will be a $50 audition fee and application form due by 6:30 pm Friday, July 20th. Individual/small group auditions will take place on Saturday, July 21st beginning at 1 pm.

Dancers for this season’s late auditions will not be considered for solo/duo/trio opportunities or the preprofessional program.

Participants will be notified by email the evening of 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 may 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.
