THE DANCE CARTEL will hold auditions on MONDAY, JULY 29th, 4-7pm at DANY Studios.

We are seeking dancers for our fall season of performances. Dancers receive a stipend for each project. 

SEEKING dancers both trained (contemporary, hip hop, ballet, jazz, roughly in that order) and raw/untrained (actors/singers/performers who know how to get DOWN and SWEAT). We highly recommend you come familiar with our work (particularly its immersive nature) - if you haven't experienced it live, get to know it online at thedancecartel.com.

Auditions will consist of a warm-up, learning choreographed phrases, and generating movement individually. Come ready to get loose, have fun, and meet a radical bunch of dancers. Individual skills (instruments, design, vogueing, martial arts, you name it) a plus, and sense of humor a must.

Please RSVP to thedancecartel@gmail.com with your resume and a headshot/danceshot if available. Let us know if you have a time preference (4, 5 or 6pm).

Mission:
The Dance Cartel is after a new brand of dance experience. Taking note of a dance community that often serves a niche audience, the Cartel creates dances that are vibrant, immersive and often participatory. Without sacrificing technical rigor or artistic ambition as a dance company, we endeavor to employ the social nature of dance, the charge of a party, and the sharpness of a music video to a fresh dance vocabulary that any Joe can get down with.
