About

For ages 6-7

Students in this age group will participate in a pre-audition two days before the official audition. During this session, they will learn a dance combo that they’ll be performing at the audition. Video of the dance combo will be sent to parents that same night. During Auditions they will be performing the combination, plus some technique across the floor or in center.

***Pre-auditions are exclusively for ages 6–7.***

For ages 8+

On audition day, they will learn a combination that they’ll perform in front of the judges for scoring.

Dancers will also be asked to demonstrate technique in across-the-floor combos or center technique work that is age/skill appropriate.

Can’t make it to your age-assigned audition? Sign up for the make-up dates below.

This year, we will not be accepting video submissions for makeup auditions. All dancers must attend an in-person makeup audition to maintain fairness and integrity in the audition process. This ensures that choreography is not shared with others ahead of time.

Dancers attending a make-up audition will receive their audition combination one day prior to their audition. The combinations will not be the same as the one used during the original audition date, but it will maintain the same skill sets, movement quality, and style we are looking for.

Dance Force Workshops

The DF & DFD Audition Workshop will take place the week after the recital and is designed to help dancers feel prepared and confident for the Dance Force auditions the following week.

Classes will be led by our teachers and will primarily focus on jazz, lyrical/contemporary, and hip hop combo learning. Dancers ages 6-14+ are encouraged to attend and will be placed in age-appropriate groups. It is open to ALL dancers.

Throughout the workshop, dancers will practice picking up choreography quickly, receive constructive feedback on areas to improve, and gain a clearer understanding of what is expected at auditions in a supportive environment.
