Audition Details!
Who are auditions for?
Auditions are for youth who will be in grades 6 - 12 during the 2024-25 school year who are interested in dancing on one of our two performance teams!
​
Dancers of ALL experience levels (including brand new beginners!) are welcome to audition!
​
Any remaining spots on the Bronze Team after auditions will become open enrollment, meaning new dancers can sign up for it anytime throughout the year without an audition (provided there are spots remaining).
Where are auditions?
Auditions are held at the South Bay Grange in Olympia, WA (3918 Sleater Kinney Rd NE).
How do auditions work?
At audition night, during the first hour all dancers will learn a short piece of Ballroom and/or Latin choreography together and then have time to practice it. During the second hour, you will be called in small groups to dance the choreography piece for our team directors! We will assign you in partnerships for your audition and may ask to observe you dancing with several different partners.
What else do I need to know?
Dancers should dress in comfortable clothing appropriate for dance, such as fitted athletic pants or leggings, and a t-shirt or leotard. Avoid jeans, shorts, crop tops, or baggy clothing. Appropriate footwear would be ballroom shoes, jazz shoes, or a pair of lightweight sneakers that will stay well-attached to your feet.
​
Bring a water bottle! You do not need to bring a partner (but you are welcome to!). Make sure you have registered for auditions by 12 pm on June 13 by using the link above!
What if I can't come on June 13?
In the event you are unavailable on audition night, we may have some ability to arrange an alternative audition day or time. Please email us at info@olympicballroomdance.com to discuss options.
