Solo auditions are quickly approaching and we are so excited to begin this special process with our dancers! Auditions will take place on June 5th beginning at 5:00 PM. Please be sure to fill out and submit the audition form in order to reserve your dancer’s audition time slot.
A solo is such an incredible opportunity for a dancer to truly shine in the spotlight on their own. Not only does it help build confidence, performance quality, and stage presence, but it also allows dancers to grow artistically and express themselves in a unique and personal way. The growth we see throughout the solo season is always so rewarding!
We encourage all dancers to step outside of their comfort zone and give this experience a try. Whether it’s their first audition or they’ve performed solos before, this is such a memorable and exciting journey.
To audition, dancers should prepare a 45–60 second solo in the style of their choice. We can’t wait to see all of their hard work, passion, and creativity on display! 💛
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
