​​HOW & WHEN TO AUDITION:

We will be hosting our Season VII auditions on May 8th and 9th.  Our company auditions are broken up into three age groups.

• Ages 5 - 9
• Ages 8-12

• ​Ages 12 & Up

• Those that are 12 are allowed to choose which audition they'd like to attend​

• Auditions for Solos/Duets/Trios will be scheduled after you've completed your audition form.

• Auditions are open to the public for any dancers, not just current students at Evolve.

• There is a $25 audition fee and a $5 fee to audition for a solo or duo/trio.

• You may pay your audition fee by cash, check, card (with additional fees), or booster (if a current student). 

• All dancers auditioning need to bring in a headshot and a resume with dance experience listed. You’re more than welcome to stop by the office for an example or email us. 

• Click HERE to fill out your company intention form. Within 24 hours you will receive more detailed information on Evolve Dance Company, along with our audition form and solo/duet/trio signups.

• Audition fees must be paid by the first day of your dancer's audition.

​

PARENT MEETING: We will have a company information meeting for parents Friday April 17th at 6pm. This will be a ZOOM Meeting to accommodate everyone's busy spring schedules! The Zoom Link will be posted HERE on Friday April 17th by 5PM. 

 

** Our auditions are not about “cutting” dancers, but about assessing their skill level and progress and then placing them into companies for the season. If we personally feel that a dancer is not ready to be a member of EDC, we will discuss it with the parent and dancer after auditions conclude. All discussions will come with a plan to get your dancer on the right track towards becoming an EDC member. **

​

AUDITION DETAILS:

• During check-in for auditions you will turn in your headshot/resume and your dancer will be assigned a number for the duration of their auditions.

• Dancers need to check-in all days applicable to receive their numbers for the auditions each day.

• All dancers attending the 8-12 and 12 & up auditions will attend a ballet, jazz, contemporary, and a hip hop audition. ​All dancers in the 5-9 audition will complete a small jazz and hip hop combination.

  • They will need ballet shoes for the ballet portion of the audition; jazz shoes for their jazz audition; and tennis shoes for their hip hop audition. They can be barefoot for Contemporary. 

  • We ask that hair is pulled back out of their face. 

  • No experience is needed for auditions.

  • All portions of the audition must be completed in order to be considered for company.

DRESS ATTIRE:

• Hair must be in a bun. No jewelry allowed other than small earrings that are not distracting.

• Ballet: All female dancers should have a plain black leotard (no color accents), pink or skin tone ballet tights, and pink or skin tone ballet shoes. No skirts. All male dancers should wear black shorts and a white t-shirt or tank top with black/skin tone ballet shoes. No bare feet.

• Jazz: Dancers are allowed to wear an outfit of choice, but will only have a 15 minute break between ballet and jazz to change if they’d like. You will not be faulted for staying in your ballet attire if chosen to do so. Dancers should have tan or black jazz shoes. No bare feet.

• Contemporary: Dancers are allowed to wear an outfit of choice and will be dancing barefoot. No socks.

• Hip Hop: Dancers are allowed to wear an outfit of choice, but you will only have a 15 minute break between Contemporary and Hip Hop to change. Dancers are required to wear tennis shoes for hip hop. No bare feet.
