Company Dance Workshop
There will be a full company dance workshop in which all those wishing to take part in the show will need to learn and perform a short sequence in groups of 4-6. There will be time to practice these on the 8th and 29th May, along with a practice video. Company members will need to go over the dance on the 2nd June. This is nothing to worry about - just for the production team to see how we can best use you!
Featured dancers plus Leo and Ulla. If you would like to audition for a role as a featured dancer or as Leo or Ulla, there will be a separate dance audition. This will be a slightly more advanced routine which you will perform in groups of 2-3. You will not have to learn the company dance from the workshop.
Depending on numbers, there will also be an additional small tap audition/workshop. Details of which will be confirmed over the coming weeks.
