Avoid flip flops and open toe shoes.
You are welcome to change clothes if you prefer to do so for the dance portion of an audition.

Time Commitment

The rehearsal process is 6-8 weeks long and it is important for you to understand the time commitment.

You will be expected to provide scheduling conflicts on your application, so bring your calendar with you
