Clinic Day

  • During this clinic day, the auditioners will learn the audition routine, progressions, technique and tricks that will be used for the auditioning day.

  • This is a relaxed day, and is meant to be helpful so that the girls can have FUN during auditions! J

  • Suggested level of ability:

    • Pirouettes: double (at least)

    • Fuoettes and turns in a la seconde

    • Split leaps, switch leaps, and calypsos

    • Kickline with variations (straight, fans, jump splits)

    • Toe-touch, axle turns, and torches

 

April 19th, 2008: 9am-1pm
Audition Day

  • During this time the girls will audition the material they learned at the previous clinic day. If a girl was unable to make the clinic day, they are expected to catch on quickly and do their best.

  • Please wear form-fitting attire, hair pulled back, appropriate jazz shoes, and bring plenty of water.

  • The auditioners will be judged on dancing ability, technique, and showmanship. The judges will also recognize and take into account potential for improvement.
