We are seeking experienced dancers with wide/diverse stylistic abilities who identify as trans/non-binary/queer for a queer dance anthem music video celebrating gender diversity.  The anticipated release date is June 2024 for Pride Month.  

 

All looks, styles, and body types are wanted!  Improvisational skills are a must!  

 

Time commitment:   1 rehearsal in late February/early March in Northampton, Massachusetts, plus some preparation at home, plus 1 day video shoot in March somewhere in W. Massachusetts, TBD.  $350 flat rate for whole project, plus a great lunch day of shoot!

 

If you’re interested, please submit a cover letter and video dance sample via email by January 12.  In your cover letter please tell us a little bit about yourself and your dance experience.  Call backs will be announced on January 14.  An in-person call back audition will be held on Sunday February 4, in Northampton, MA.  We will be hiring 4 dancers.  

 

This is going to be a really fun project; we hope you’ll consider joining the team!
