When: Saturday, April 7th from 4-6pm

Where: South End studio. Balance Wellness Studio, 111 West Concord Street, Boston, MA 02118

The audition works as a class, including ballet tendu, pirouettes, a modern release combo, leaps across the floor, improvisation exercises and a final combination. The combo will highlight Urbanity’s style, weaving fluid release “gooey” technique, with the ability to fiercely hit notes of choreography with specificity and attack. We’re looking for wow-factor appeal and open-minded willingness to create. Those who are asked to attend callbacks may be asked to learn additional phrase work, and/or perform a 1-2 minute solo. Please bring music and prepare ahead of time.

How To Apply: We suggest letting us know you’re planning to attend ahead of time. Email photo and bio or resume to Cayley at [email protected]. No audition videos in lieu of a live audition will be accepted for the Company.
