Audition Workshops
What are Audition Workshops?
All dancers interested in competing on Dance Team in the 2010-11 year are required to audition whether or not they have been on a team in the past. Audition workshops include large group instruction in ballet, jazz and acrobatics. Workshops end with auditions conducted in small groups. Auditions include steps and combinations, previously taught, as well as short interviews, and are held before a panel of 2-3 dance instructors. Following auditions, within the week, dancers will receive notice regarding their status for team membership. Dancers invited to team will also receive contracts and choreography fee statements. After signed contracts and choreography fees are received, a dancer becomes on official Paula Brekke School of Dance and Tumbling Team Member!
