The standards and techniques for successful auditioning carry over to so many life situations that even if you didn't want to audition for studio's competition teams (but we hope you do), you still might want to take the audition workshop. 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.
Professional performers know the value of preparing. In our workshop we will guide participants through exercises to develop the skills essential to a successful dance audition:
- level of preparedness (dress, makeup, resume, timing),
- mastery of technique, performance quality
- ability to learn choreography,
- quality of leaps/jumps, turns,
- quality of dancer's choreography,
- improvisation technique,
- dancer's attitude,
- and the dancer's level of commitment.
If you're planning on joining the Competition Team this year, come get all the info you'll need to know at our informational session Friday, August 5th at 5:30pm. We'll cover all the requirements, dates, fees and other bits of info regarding the Studio 180 Dance Competition Team.
Also, 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 25th, from 10am-3pm, at Studio 180 Dance, 131 Gibralter Ave, Annapolis. To register, call or stop in at the studio during summer hours.
