ARE YOU…

· LOOKING FOR MORE PERFORMING OPPORTUNITIES?

· PASSIONATE ABOUT DANCE?

· AVAILABLE SUNDAYS?

· IN ITP LEVEL 6+

· DEPENDABLE?

Minimum Requirements to Audition:

 

· Enrolment in 4-6 hours/week of technique classes, at least one of which is at Maritime Dance Academy.  Classes can be in any style of dance (jazz, tap, modern, or ballet) but all Company members are strongly encouraged to take one modern technique class, since we are primarily a modern dance company.

· Must be in at least ITP Level 6

· Must be able to miss 4-5 days of school between September and June for Performance Group shows

· Must be available on Sundays from 9:30 am to 5:45 pm.  (This is the rehearsal schedule for our busiest times of the season.  During less busy times, dancers will finish earlier in the day.)  Company class starts at 10 am sharp.

· Must be able to pay tuition of $70 every 10 weeks.

 

Other Notes:

 

· In addition to the above expectations, all Company members are required to behave in a professional manner in all of their regular dance classes, which they need to attend on a very regular basis.  Class attendance is monitored throughout the season. 

· Dancers must wear appropriate dance attire and their hair secured up to all rehearsals.    

· This is a group for serious dance students only, who have strong technique and a desire perform, perform, PERFORM! 

 

All Company members (full & apprentice) will be guaranteed performance opportunities during the school tour performances as well as choreography in the Spring Showcase in May 2008.  When casting for any performance, choreographers will take into account a dancer’s attendance, attitude, work ethic, and suitability.  All company members are expected to support and encourage each other resulting in a healthy company atmosphere.

 

The Audition Process:

 

· 1.5 hour modern class with some jazz elements.  Please have bare feet.

· A personal interview with the adjudicators.

 

This year Performance Group is looking to E X P A N D and will consider up to 10 new members!  What an excellent opportunity for the ‘up-and-coming- stars at Maritime Dance!  Please understand that this is an audition and not all dancers will be accepted at this time.  The decision of the adjudicators is final.  Dancers not accepted this season are encouraged to keep working on their technique, and audition again next season.  This can be a wonderful learning opportunity for all auditionees if it is presented in this manner.

 

Please email Artistic Director, Kelly Horne (kelly_horne@yahoo.ca) to register your intent to audition by Saturday, September 1st with your name, phone number, email address, and current ITP level.  Best of luck to all!
