Hip Hop Audition
The first will be an audition class with Dejan Tubic held in the Junior, Teen, and Senior rooms. There will be elements similar to our Regional Audition Class, but it will be structured as more of a real-world audition. There will be feedback given to dancers on an individual basis to help correct mistakes and to also point out what they did correctly. We do our best to provide a positive, encouraging and loving atmosphere, while also preparing the dancers on what to expect in an audition. In each class there will be a combination presented, which will directly be followed by the “audition process”. All dancers will perform in groups, notes will be taken, and constructive criticism and positive reenforcement will be given. We will then narrow this down to finalists. The finalists will be asked to perform a piece choreographed by Dejan at the Wrap It Ceremony on Thursday.
Pace University Scholarship
The second audition class will be held only in the Senior Room. Rhonda Miller, head of Pace University’s Commercial Dance, BFA program, will be conducting this audition. This will include both a Jazz combination and Ballet variation. DanceMakers and Pace University have partnered together and will be issuing a $75,000 scholarship to Pace University to the finalist of the audition process at Nationals. The finalist will be accepted into Pace University’s Dance Program and awarded the DanceMakers Scholarship. The finalist will need to be accepted academically to Pace University separate from the audition process. The scholarship recipient must be an upcoming Junior, upcoming Senior and/or graduating Senior in high school. The winner will be announced on Thursday at the Wrap It Ceremony.
