We hope to continue to spread the joyful message of dance and we hope you can join us in this journey as a student, performer, instructor or simply a well wisher.

What are we looking for in a dancer?
We are looking for dancers who can pick up versatile/intricate choreography at a quick pace. There is no requirement for any level of specific training, but those who have experience performing are preferred. Choreography experience is not required but is preferred.
What can you expect from auditions?
Auditions will consist of learning short routines (up to 1 min in length). Dancers will be expected to learn the routine in 1 hour and then audition in small groups. After everyone has auditioned, we will be in contact with you via email to further discuss the selection process.
