*AUDITION FORMAT*
A few counts of 8 will be taught for each style of dance. You will then perform this choreography in small groups for the choreographers of that style. Before each small group auditions, a day/choreographers name will be stated. If you’d like to audition for that day of dance, you will raise your hand. Then your group will perform the combo you were just taught. Each choreographer will have the option of running one item specific to their piece across the floor to showcase a specific skill: turns, leaps, style, performance. The choreographers teaching the combinations will be announced at auditions.
**Dancers will learn the choreography is largest studios (E & B). Each group will be learning two combos. After the first choreographer teaches (20 minutes) the choreographers will swap rooms and teach the next combination. Dancers will divide into all 6 studios to spread out and run the choreography in smaller groups, before dividing into even smaller groups of 8-10 dancers to audition.
