There are 3 Targets
for Auditions:
1. To define the fundamentals in each dancer, at
all levels, thus "setting the bar " from which
you will all be built into stronger dancers!
2. To give every recruit the greatest possible time in front
of the drill instructors who are making placement (audition)
decisions.
3. To place each and every recruit in the Company which will
provide the best possible blues building experience.
How will you get all of this face time with the instructors?
During the morning class, the instructors
will be in rotation with you, allowing every recruit to dance
with the instructors. If you are auditioning, the instructor
will examine your dancing, paying attention to your connection,
pulse, skill, and musicality. Instructors will be watching
to see if you learn from the rotation. So you'll get to dance
with the instructors without the pressures of standing in front
of the class.
What else is in store for you?
We're bringing
in something never before seen at a Blues workshop. We're
calling it -
You
don't have security clearance to get all the details. What
we can tell you is that it is named "MIMIC" for a
reason, and that it will be an experience in which you will
improve your ability to learn and become a better dancer, while
also evaluating what Company you will be placed in.
This method of auditioning will allow you
to focus on basics without sacrificing advanced musicality
and connection. It eliminates the fear of "I
had a bad dance during that 2 minute audition period." or
the complaint of "The instructors
only saw me for too short of a time."
Plus, it gives you an entire day to have
your level evaluated to help assure you get placed in the Company
that best fits you, while giving you a full day of workshops
and learning at the same time. |
