Please arrive at least 30-45 mins before the start of the audition to check in and pay your fee in cash.  If you registered, then we will have that information, however, you still need to check in. We expect a full audition to last approx. 2 hours each.

Auditions are workshop style, meaning that you will be taught a combination then asked to perform it in a smaller group.  You do not need to prepare anything in advance. 

 The Popping/Battle audition will be done in battle format so you will be asked to free-style to a variety of music.  This is a GREAT way to show off and/or improve your skills.  See bellow for more info.

Even if you aren't sure, give it a try!

AUDITION CASTING:

1. HIP HOP:  Choreographed hip hop duo, small group, and formation (large group)

*all-style battles include music where multiple street-styles are expected such as Hip Hop, Popping, Locking, House, Afro, etc*
