Audition Information
Have we piqued your interest?
We want you to be a part of our community and we want you to dance with us! Whether you have many years of dance experience, or you've never danced before we have a space for you.
​
Audition in January to snag your spot in ensemble.
Don't worry, we're not judging you at the audition. The audition is to simply place you in pieces that will display your movement style best.
​
We highly recommend auditioning in person to get a feel for our space, meet us, and our other dancers.
​
If you're unable to audition in person or the date doesn't work with your schedule, send us a virtual audition video.
