    DANCE AUDITION DETAILS

      • Welcome to dance auditions for Dare to Dream! I hope you are excited to have fun, try some new things, and maybe even get a little bit out of your comfort zone! As we will only get a couple short weeks to work together, I want our time to be centered around positivity and hard work! I hope you are as excited as I am to work together and create some Disney Dancing Magic together! To best prepare for your audition, follow the instructions below. 
      • Before your audition: 
        • Linked here is the short dance you will be performing at your audition. Please memorize the dance at home before your audition. Audition time is limited, so we will move quickly through the choreography day-of. 
        • Watch a couple of videos of Disneyland or Disney World parades and pay close attention to the dancers! I want to focus the choreography for the entire show around capturing the joyful and jubilant energy they have while performing! Please take from it and get inspired by it! 
      • Day of:
        • Warm-Up: Do a little stretching before coming in for your dance audition. 
      • Remember: We are NOT looking for perfection, we are looking for performance and personality! We have weeks of rehearsal to get ourselves performance-ready. We are looking to see what kind of positive, hard-working attitude you bring to your audition, as well as your ability to smile, embrace the characters, and have fun!
