We will be attending the IDO World Hip Hop, Popping, and Battle Championships followed by the IDO World Street Dance Show Championship, in Skopje, Macedonia, October 2024
KEEP SCROLLING DOWN FOR MORE INFORMATION...
There are many factors to consider when choosing a team. We consider dancers from in-person/video auditions and Golden Tickets. We also have multiple choreographers involved in the decision-making. Unlike other teams, we are limited to how many we can take on a team, and we don't just select the best dancers—we also consider how the dancers fit with each other in the choreographer's vision.
When you receive an email, PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THE FACT THAT YOU RECEIVED AN EMAIL WITH ANYONE - YET.
As mentioned, we are staggering the emails being sent. The staggering helps us keep track of who is accepting their position and how many. When receipt status of a results-email is shared with others, the ones who haven't received their results yet wonder where their results are, inaccurate theories made up, rumours shared, until people start to contacting us saying that someone else they know has received their results but they don't have theirs. WE WILL ANNOUNCE WHEN ALL RESULTS HAVE BEEN SENT then you can share away!
Everyone will get an email with whether they have a spot on the 2024 team or not. EVERYONE. Again, the process takes time to send so please don't panic if you don't have an email yet. There may be other reasons why results are taking longer than you expected. Also, please keep in mind that it is a very busy competition season for our dancers and choreographers. Team Canada Dance staff also are busy with other teams and their regular 'day jobs'. EVERYONE WIL GET AN EMAIL.
Please check your junk/spam folder. We send out a lot of results, and sometimes our emails can be mistaken for spam. Also, sometimes there might be a human error in the email address from either your end or ours. Pre-registering helps reduce human errors, but not completely.
WE WILL ANNOUNCE WHEN ALL RESULTS HAVE BEEN SENT. If you haven't received an email by May 15, or by the time we made our announcement, please contact us.
If you were checked into the in-person audition or received a video audition link (with a confirmation of receipt), then you will hear from us either way.
After we made our announcement of all the results being sent, you can share that information with others. Again, please do not share the info until after our announcement.
APRIL 21 IN PERSON AUDITION COMPLETED
*only in-person audition we are holding
If auditioning for choreo teams AND freestyle, you need to attend both the choreographer audition suited for your age AND the freestyle audition. You need to pay only ONE audition fee.
IN-PERSON AUDITION
Please arrive at least 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. We do not have a set finish time, it depends on the number of people,
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:
*all-style battles include music where multiple street-styles are expected such as Hip Hop, Popping, Locking, House, Afro, etc*
