Instructors

Register Now: BAK & DSOA Mock Audition

Happy New Year!For many 5th and 8th grade dancers, new years resolutions may mean giving it their all as they get ready for upcoming BAK and Dreyfoos Schools of the Arts Dance Auditions. As with any audition, preparation is key.

Southern Dance Theatre has offered support and guidance to these 5th and 8th grade students for years and 2014 is no exception. We are offering a mock audition class so that students can gain the experience and insight necessary to enter their audition with confidence.  If you are wondering how to best prepare for your audition, this class is for you.

In 2013, 100% of our students who auditioned for BAK MIddle School of the Arts were accepted for the current year, and we have had great success preparing students for both schools.

Our mock audition includes a ballet group class, modern group class, time for dancers to present their solos, and feedback to the dancers on their performance. To ensure a truly fair assessment, dancers are critiqued by instructors outside of the Southern Dance Theatre faculty.

The mock audition will be held Sunday, January 12th from 1 – 4pm and is $25 cash or check to “Southern Dance Theatre”.

Register now at our front desk. Students must reserve a space in order to attend. This opportunity is limited to current Southern Dance Theatre students.

We wish the very best of luck to all dancers who audition!

Special Invitation: Demonstration Classes!

We welcome family members of our students to attend our demonstration classes which will be held during the weeks of December 2nd – December 20th.  Our students and teachers have worked diligently this season, and we look forward to showing you how far we’ve come.

As a courtesy to students and teachers who have worked hard to prepare, we ask that parents do not bring babies or strollers into class. Small children observing must remain seated on a parent’s lap and be able to observe without disruptions. Cameras and video cameras are welcome.

To Those Preparing for Dance Auditions for Bak or Dreyfoos Schools of the Arts

BAK and DSOA Audition PreparationParents of current Southern Dance Theatre students who are interested in the Dance Audition preparation process for BAK and Dreyfoos Schools of the Arts Dance Auditions should join us for a Q & A Meeting: October 7th at 7:30pm at Southern Dance Theatre.
