AUDITION INFORMATION: REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPETITIVE TEAMS (Brava Apprentice, Brava Core):
We are looking for dancers for our Apprentice and Core teams in all age groups: Petite, Mini, Junior and Teen for the 2024-2025 season. Each dancer in Core and Apprentice must have their right and left splits and a clean, double pirouette on both sides. While it is important that dancers have these core skills, there are also other aspects of technique that we look for as well as ability to pick up choreography quickly and quality of movement. We are looking for dancers who attend all of their regular weekly classes throughout the year, show up for rehearsals, have a great attitude in class, and a strong work ethic. These characteristics are very important as our dancers represent Brava and become an example to the younger students at the studio. ************************************************************* The commitment level is very high for the Competitive Teams. If you travel frequently or have conflicts on weekends, please do not audition. This is for those dancers who want to put themselves 100% into dancing. If you meet the above requirements and wish to be considered for Competitive Teams please sign up via your customer portal, under Mini Session, Audition Workshop by May 1st. Thank you!
