Auditions

We are going to be hosting fall auditions for our 2010-2011 season! They are going to be held on SATURDAY, AUGUST 28th, 2010. You MUST be an current, official, UGA STUDENT in order to be part of the team. We will teach a workshop where we teach an audition routine on Saturday morning from 10 am - 12 pm, and the actual audition will be that evening from 8-10 pm. The auditions will be held at Studio Dance Academy (address below). If it does not work for you, please email us, and we will figure out an alternative plan (for example, a video audition). These auditions are for the 2010-2011 season.

If you make the team this Saturday, your FIRST practice will be THIS SUNDAY from 6:30-9:30 pm. Practice is a bit longer this week than usual because we will miss practice on Labor Day weekend.
