AUDITION INFORMATION
Audition Date: Sunday, April 27, 2008
Time: 12:30pm-5:30pm
William H. Pitt Center Aerobic Room
Please be prompt and ready to begin at 12:30pm. You may wear dance pants and a tank top or leotard, whatever you are comfortable dancing in and also any type of jazz shoe.
We will begin auditions with a group stretch lead by team captains and also give some individual stretch time. Then you will have time to practice leaps, turns and jumps across the floor. You will learn a short routine that you will use to audition. There will be plenty of practice time for the routine and for technical skills. You should also have a routine prepared that showcases your best style of dance, it can be one from your studio or HS team and should be one minute in length.
Auditions take place throughout the day. All individuals are seated outside of the room and assigned a number to wear. You will be called into the room in small groups. Each individual will perform their personal routine as well as the routine we teach and various required skills. There may be callbacks and a list will be posted with the numbers of those who are selected by the end of the day. You do not have to have your deposit into SHU at the time of audition.
The following is a list of required skills for SHU Dance:
Double turns (pirouettes), triples preferred
Leaps and switch leaps
Toe touch
Leaps in second
Pique and coupe turns

We encourage everyone to audition for the team regardless of your background.
