Come in clothing and shoes you can move in.
Teacher Liv will be teaching a short routine form the show and we will split you into small groups to preform them for us. If you can do any special tricks please make them aware at auditions. The show has many parts for strong dancers to shine in.

We ask that you prepare to stay the duration but we may let you go early. If you are unable to attend callbacks, it's helpful to let us know in advance, but please know that this may affect casting.

Management Team
Managers are the leaders of a production. Their job is to make sure everything runs smoothly during rehearsals and performances. They keep track of when and where everyone needs to be, help organize the actors and crew relay the director's needs to designers, manage the set and props, and make sure all the technical stuff, like lights and sound, works properly. Basically, they make sure the show goes on without any problems! They will need to attend all rehearsals.
