IN-PERSON AUDITION *(COMPLETED)*
Please arrive at least 45-60 mins before the start of the audition to check in and
pay your fee in cash.
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.
Please wear form-fitting dance-wear such as a leotard, bodysuit, or dance shorts. For footwear, bare feet is ideal. A foot thong is also acceptable. Hair should be pulled off the face, tied back, plait, or in a low bun.
The Acro Championships are held at the same time as Show. Dance so dancers may choose to audition for both as rehearsal and team travel will be held together.
CASTING CATEGORIES
Formation Children (9-12yrs)
Formation Junior (13-16 yrs)
Formation Adult (17 & over)
*All dancers will be a part of Formation which is a large group (8-24 dancers). Dancers also have the opportunity to dance all together in the Production (Show Dance)
From the chosen Formation dancers, we *may choose dancers for
- Small group. We may only choose dancers for 1-3 small groups per age
- Duo. We will only choose for 1-4 duos per age division
- Solo. We will only choose for 1-5 solo positions per age division
Please contact us immediately if you were awarded a Golden Ticket and are interested in the 2025 team
RESULTS
Results may be available up to 7 days after the first audition, however, the Acro faculty may choose to defer ALL RESULTS until AFTER THE SCOND (MARCH) audition.

DANCE IS ALSO REQUIRED
As acro-dance is 50:50 dance/acro in equal parts, we must also have a video of a dance routine in jazz, modern/contemporary, lyrical, etc. The dance video submitted may be the same one submitted for Show Dance. If you are submitting an acro routine, be sure that it has at least half of the routine dancing, not just tricks.
If also submitting for SHOWDANCE...
PLEASE INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING IN YOUR VIDEO AUDITION SUBMISSION
SHOW DANCE
As Show Dance is also taking place at the same time/venue as the Acro Championships, you may be a part of both teams if accepted, or only one. Video auditions for Show Dance should include a dance routine - we want to see performance ability as well as dance caliber. Dance genre should be one of jazz, modern/contemporary, lyrical, and/or acro (if includes more than half of dance). If you have a musical theatre routine you would like to submit in addition to the dance routine, you may.
