AUDITIONS
for
STARBOUND COMPANY
AND COMPETITION CLASS
Where: DANCE DIMENSIONS
When: MONDAY - JUNE 16, 2008
TIME TO BE ANNOUNCED DEPENDING ON NUMBER OF AUDITIONEES
- Dancers will audition in ballet, jazz and tap. Auditions consist of progressions and a combination in each dance style. Dancers audition in a group of three or four dancers for the ballet combination and individually for jazz and tap.
- Dancers that wish to audition for Starbound Company must be ages 9+ years.
- Starbound Company members are required to be in attendance at Dance Dimensions and have performed in the current Spring Concert in order to be considered for Company unless they have danced in another studio's performance company recently
(this is a change in policy this year).
- Dancers that wish to audition for competition class must be age 8 through 11 years.
- Competition Class dancers may audition without the stipulation of attending Dance Dimensions throughout the previous year.
- 50% of the audition is the teacher evaluations from each one of the teachers that has had the dancer in the classroom. This evaluation addresses classroom behavior as well as tardiness and absences. It also addresses work ethics and the desire to improve. Each dancer is required to write a short essay on why they want to be a Starbound Dancer or in the Competition Class. This essay will be taken into consideration for new dancers to the studio since the teacher evaluation is not possible.
- There is currently a sign-up sheet posted at the studio. Please call the studio at 303-772-3750 if interested in auditioning for the Competition Class and not currently enrolled in the studio.
A meeting for dancers interested in auditioning and their parents is scheduled for
Sunday, June 8 at 2:00 p.m.
If parents would like a copy of this year's contract, please contact the studio at 303-772-3750 and one will be sent or can be picked up at the studio for viewing. A parent and dancer meeting for those returning to Company or Competition Class will be scheduled after auditions.
The audition score sheets are posted online so the criteria for the audition can be viewed. Please call if you have any other questions concerning auditions.
