IN-PERSON AUDITION
Please arrive at least 15-30 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.
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 unless you are participating in the solo/duo audition.
Please wear comfortable clothing to dance in and clean indoor suitable shoes
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!
