CLEVELAND DANCE PROJECT SEASON 15 OPEN AUDITION REGISTRATION
Auditions for our Season 15 Showcase are on Sunday January 26 at Cleveland Dance Project (5505 Valley Belt Rd, Suite B) with parking on site. Our showcase is on Saturday April 12, tentatively at Brecksville-Broadview Heights Middle School with tech and dress the evenings of 4/10 & 4/11. Auditions are open to dancers of all levels, AGES 18+ ONLY.
BEFORE AUDITIONS, it is MANDATORY that you watch choreographer/piece bios online to familiarize yourself with the showcase pieces to rank your preferences at time of check in at auditions. Preference form, choreographer videos, bios, and rehearsal schedule will be posted by early January. For the preference form, do NOT rank any dances whose rehearsals you cannot attend, but we do encourage you to rank as many dances as you can in order to increase your likelihood of being cast. With so many dancers auditioning in the past few seasons, we cannot guarantee casting for everyone. There is a 3 dance max/dancer. Casting will be announced by January 28. Rehearsals will start January 30.
Our auditions are broken down by level so that dancers are being appropriately challenged. If you are uncertain which level you are best fit for, send us an email with your dance background or a video and we will place you!
IF you are someone who gets nervous at auditions, we will post breakdowns of the audition combo a week beforehand, so you can peek at it, and try to teach yourself ahead of time (if you want!). We will also still teach combos as normal at auditions, so if you don’t have time to pre-learn, you’ll be fine!
Tuition is $125 per piece and covers a full season of weekly rehearsals, 2 shows, $15 per costume, plus life-long friendships and valuable local connections. It’s the best deal in town! If you cannot afford this - we do offer Need-Based Talent Scholarships and Minority Scholarships that will cover the dancer’s tuition. Applicants must attend auditions and fill out the talent application here and minority app here.
We strongly encourage early attendance as we will start promptly at the audition time and there are forms that need to be filled out during the sign in period.
