Dance Audition Posting

We are starting up and looking for experienced dancers to create a brand new performance team! We are looking to get a group of talented dancers together to start a 'burlesque' show based in New York City. Growing up a dancer I was always a huge fan of the movie burlesque and have always wanted to create my own show, with a twist.  I thought why not create a similar performance.  This future group is going to be big, and eventually become a stationary tourist attraction. The dances we will be learning and performing will be similar to the ones in the movie. There will be no nudity in the dances.

 

Requirements:

-Must be 19-30 years of age

-Must be able to travel to parts of NYC

-Must be able to dance well on heels/ stay on heels for long periods of time, 

 Note; No ballroom heels, must be black, at least 4’.

-Must be able to rehearse as a team 2 times a week

-Must have competitive dance experience

-Must be able to co-operate and work hard

 

Audition:

 

We will be holding an audition on February 19 and February 22, depending on how many are interested, the location of the audition will be determined by February 12, 2023. If interested in this amazing opportunity, please send your dance portfolio/resume. You will then receive an email with location and time of audition.

 

Please note; Dancers will be charged an initial registration/ acceptance fee. 

Dancers will then be paid out each month for time and effort, upon the final performance at our biggest venue, dancers will receive a large and final payment.

Dancers will be responsible for costume fees. 

 

Audition guidelines:

 

-Dress Code (All black clothing, no shorts as we will be doing floor work- bring your heels! (knee pads if needed)

 

-The audition will take a total of approximately 1.5 hours

 

PART ONE: Strength and conditioning, we will be doing a brief warm up along with stretching so I can get a look at how strong the dancers are.

 

PART TWO: Learning a fun heels combo, we will be learning a heels combo that will be a snippet of one of our performance pieces so I can get a look at how fast the dancer picks up the choreography/ how well they work in their heels.

 

After audition:

 

After the audition the dancers will be notified by February 27th 2023, if they made the cut or not.

 

Dancers will then receive a contract to go over along with a schedule of rehearsal times/ performances. 

 

March 18th 2023 will be our first team meet up/ contract signing/ media and photo day , rehearsals will then begin twice a week in preparation of our first performance in late April 2023.

 

We are very excited for the new journey ahead of us and cannot wait to meet you all!
