Auditions will be August 28th starting at 9:00. · This audition will be very low stress. The main goal is to simply introduce dancers to the audition process. · All dancers auditioning will receive a role. No registered MCDA dancer that auditions will be cut. · Dancers under the age of ten are not auditioning for specific roles. Roles for this age group will be given based on the classes the dancer is enrolled in, their abilities, and role requests. · Dancers should come dressed for the part they wish to audition for. Neat dance wear is appropriate, including leotard, tights rolled down into shoes and HAIR SECURED IN A BUN OR BRAID. Keep extra clothing limited; the judges must be able to see the dancer’s body.
