What to Expect
An electronic sign-up will be available Wednesday, May 1, 2024. Casting and prayer groups will be announced Sunday, June 2, 2024.
Apprentice Company auditions will be held in the Soutenu studio, and students will warm up in the Fouette studio. Senior Company auditions will be held in the Chaine studio, and students will warm up in the Soutenu studio. All auditioning students are asked to enter the audition room warm, prepared and ready to go.
All auditioning students must have their costume measurements taken in their warmup studio before leaving the studio. Each audition will consist of welcome/devotion, introductions/prayer, dance/choreography, and acting/performance exercises.
Dancers age 14+ who have not previously been a member of FYDC must also sign up to perform a prepared variation during the audition process. If a student is a returning member of the company and wishes to showcase additional styles (hip hop, Acro, modern, special skills, etc.), those students are encouraged to perform a variation as well. (Students who would like to be considered for a pointe role should plan to perform a pointe variation.) Variations should not exceed 3 minutes in length, and should showcase your best style/skills.
What to Bring
There will be a $20 audition fee, which will cover registration and class costs. All students must complete and turn in an audition form for the applicable season. New students must provide a headshot and a photo in first arabesque.
Eligible students who would like to be considered for the FYDC Missions Team must also complete an FYDC Missions application in the applicable seasons. All audition forms will be collected during the first 15 minutes of the scheduled audition time.
What to Wear
All auditioning students should dress as they would for a classical ballet class. Modest coverups should be worn to and from the auditions, and may be worn during the acting/performance portion of the audition.
