READ THE FOLLOWING PRIOR TO REGISTRATION.

BalaSole Dance Company is currently seeking high-calibered male and female solo artists (of all artistic expressions, styles/genres, shapes/sizes, ages, ethnicities and backgrounds) to perform their own 3-4 minute solo pieces, as well as company ensemble pieces, for its 5th Anniversary Concert on July 17 & 18, 2015 at the Alvin Ailey Citigroup Theater in New York City. An advanced proficiency in either modern, contemporary, jazz, or ballet is required.

BalaSole is especially looking for uplifting solos/pieces for its concert seasons.

The first part of the audition will involve learning a short group combination. The second part will involve presentations of solo pieces (3-4 minutes maximum) to be performed in the July 2015 concert. Please bring your costume and music, and do not attend the audition if your solo is unfinished. During the audition, emphasis will be given to artistic and performance quality.

Self-choreographed solo pieces are preferred, but not required. Written permission must be obtained in advance from the choreographer if a solo piece is not self-choreographed.

Artists who do not have solos or are not selected in the audition, as well as foreign artists without working visas, have another opportunity to perform in the company's July 2015 concert through its Emerging & Re-Emerging Artist Workshop/Program. While this separate program offers a non-paid performance opportunity, the participating artists will gain visibility/professional experience in a prominent NYC dance venue; access to a network of working dance artists; and information regarding career and financial planning. Visit the "Events" page of our website for workshop details.
