Auditions

Auditions for Spice Road will be scheduled in July and will include:

the last scheduled audition for the summer is
Wednesday August 13, 7:30 pm.

Audition slots may be made at any time. Dancers auditioning after Sept. 1 will not be eligible for performing until after the Hadia show.


*ALL interested dancers should confirm their attendance with Nicola by calling 957-7520.

Each dancer, unless prior arrangement has been made, should prepare to show and/or participate in:

  • 3-5 minute solo with prop (veil, zills or cane)
  • improv exercise (solo and small group): 1-3 minutes of free dancing
    to music Nicola chooses
  • technique check-up of intermediate technique everyone should recognize and know
  • follow-the-leader sequence: see a sequence repeated 3 times and
    demonstrate it back
  • email or printed questionarre to be filled out and dropped off or
    mailed to Nicola (coming soon)

These steps are to provide me with an accurate picture of you
capabilities and potential, as well as what you need to work on.
Dancers will *not* be rejected based on one of these facets of dance.
I will be looking at the overall impression you make and how well it appears you will fit into the group.

Rehearsals begin in August for October Hadia show.
Summer rehearsals to be scheduled--weeknights. Fall/winter/spring rehearsals will take place Fridays, at RSDA. More
info TBA.
