At the audition

You will be required to follow a warm up, and then learn two short dance phrases, one in a street style, and the other in a contemporary style. Finally you will be asked to improvise to a piece of music. The audition has been designed to assess many aspects of each individual, approach, interaction, style, focus, imagination, creativity etc.  You do not have to dance on your own!

You are not required to have had any previous training. You are required to have dedication, drive, enthusiasm, to be punctual and respectful and also a love of dance and music.

If successful, as a member of the company you will not only develop your technique and performance skills, but your training will be more focused due to the enthusiasm that will be generated between each member and strive to reach performance goals.  At times the Company are asked to perform at events with very short notice and this is why Company dancers must be able to pick up routines quickly, keep practicing all the time and support each other.

Please come in suitable, comfortable clothing that are unrestricting and which you feel confident in. Hair should be tied back and jewellery should be kept to a minimum. The audition will cost £5 and last about 1 & half hours. For further information, questions or queries please see contact.
