The following information will help you prepare for the auditions:

DANCING: Be prepared to learn dance steps by wearing appropriate footwear and clothing (no flip-flops or sandals). You will be asked to perform the learned dance steps in a group during auditions. There will be a tap number, so dust off your tap shoes, and show us your tap steps!
ACTING: Some may be asked to read lines and do some improvisation. Presenting a one-minute monologue is optional at call backs only.
SPECIAL SKILLS: If you have special skills, such as gymnastics or acrobatics, please let us know at auditions. We would love to see these special talents!
CALL BACKS: Call backs will be held May 14, 15, and 16. If we need you to return for a call back you will be notified as to which date and time.
