Audition Workshop: Monday, July 25th 10-3pm
As dancers, we know that auditioning is an integral element of performing, though a difficult process, so we are providing a workshop to support dancers planning to tryout for our team or any other dance event.
Our audition workshop is open, space permitting, to anyone who wishes to perfect auditioning technique. It will be led by Studio 180 owner, Katie Carpenter-King and fellow faculty member, Brooke Bowlin, with guest dancer appearances, on July 25, from 10am-3pm, at Studio 180 Dance, 131 Gibralter Ave, Annapolis. Register today.
Tips for the August and September Auditions
In many ways, the key to a successful audition revolves around mental even more than physical preparedness, though both are important. So, to prepare for the Studio 180 Dance Competition Team auditions, we offer these tips:
- know your choreography: for the teams and disciplines you will audition for, come prepared with choreography you have mastered.
- remember that a smile goes a very long way: be sure you are showing the jury both how well you dance and how much you love to dance.
- be prepared: come early, stretch well, wear the appropriate clothing [see the detailed guide on the website at the link below], bring along your best attitude
- discuss the team requirements with your parents: competition team is a significant commitment; be sure this is the right choice for you as a dancer and for your family, whose support you will need.
At Studio 180, we love the rigor and team spirit of our competition teams and so encourage each of you to audition. For more details on competition team, team requirements and the handbook, please visit www.studio180dance.com/competitionteam.shtml .
Special offer to Parents of Competition Team Dancers
We respect the cost and time expended by our CT parents and are offering them a 50% discount on classes in our adult program. We know it's fun to watch your children rehearse, but it would be even more fun if you were dancing. So, Mom and Dad, we hope to see you on the dance floor too!
