All current Open Arts Dancers in 3rd Grade and up are invited to audition to perform in our annual Open Arts Performance Company Gala.
Auditions will take place on Thursday, January 9th 8:00-8:45pm at the studio. Dancers should wear leotard and tights only and be ready to dance in bare feet but also bring any additional dance shoes you have - jazz, ballet, tap, etc. Hair should be pulled back neatly into a bun or ponytail or equivalent.
Participating in our OAPC Gala is an opportunity for dancers to learn more about dancing for film, which is completely different from stage performances and an important part of dance as a performance art. It's also a service opportunity for dancers to use their talent and artistry to benefit others.
This is a casting audition, which means as long as we have space, all dancers who audition will be cast in at least one piece. All dance pieces are choreographed by High School Performance Company dancers. Dance peices will be recorded on Saturday, February 22nd at the studio for an elegant sharing at the Gala Fundraising Event on Saturday, March 1st.
Here are the important dates and details Gala Dancers and Families should be able to commit to prior to auditioning. Due to the nature of this project, all rehearsal and events are mandatory. No exceptions.
