STRATFORD AUDITION:

For this audition, the choreographers will run all the Ballet, Jazz, AND Contemporary auditions TOGETHER.  Although we usually travel as one group to the three championships, they are held at the same venue consecutively.  Auditions are workshop-style s you do not need to prepare any solo for this, however, we do have a ballet combination that we would like you to learn ahead of the audition to perform in the audition. Everyone will dance together in the room.  

As all genres will audition together, the fee for this audition is $25.

WHITBY AUDITION:

For this audition, the choreographers will run all the Ballet, Jazz, AND Contemporary auditions SEPARTELY.  Although we usually travel as one group to the three championships, they are held at the same venue consecutively.  Auditions are workshop-style s you do not need to prepare any solo for this, however, we do have a ballet combination that we would like you to learn ahead of the audition to perform in the audition.

Choreography/Costumes

Each formation will be $325/dancer/formation payable to the choreographer.  Costumes are additional,  set out by the choreographer, but we try to keep the costume costs as low as we can.

Any additional routines you wish to compete in (such as small group, duo, and/or solo) will be an additional fee.  Small groups are $250/dancer/group and solo/duo should be discussed with the choreographer. Any discussion about choreo/costume fees must be with choreographer.  

Please note that we are limited in the 'extra' routines we may bring as we are only allowed 3 entries per nation, which will be split between the eat and west teams.  For example, 3 children jazz solo female, 3 children jazz solo male, 3 children small group, etc.
