THE DANCE ACADEMY OF NORTH JERSEY COMPETITION TEAM OPEN AUDITIONS -- SATURDAY, AUGUST 22nd

Open auditions for The Dance Academy of North Jersey Competition Dance Team are being held this coming Saturday, August 22nd (see times below) in the DANJ Lake Hopatcong studio.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THE AUDITIONS?
Any dancer interested in joining the DANJ 2015-16 competition team should attend. If you are unsure about joining, you should attend as there is no obligation to join the team and there is no cost to audition. The auditions will also be used to help make placement decisions for the 2015-16 classes and competition routines. The auditions themselves should be taken seriously; on the other hand, we want everyone to have a good time and support each other. If you are not currently dancing at DANJ and plan to attend the auditions, please email dance.danj@gmail.com or call the studio at 973-663-2009.

All dancers are required to audition in Ballet and Technical Elements. If you are considering taking classes, or competing, in tap and/or acro, you are required to audition in those styles as well.
