AUDITION DETAILS

Monday, 11/9:

Choreography Tutorials and music will be posted live at Vega360.dance!

The shows we do require a lot of learning and review from shared videos, so that folks can show up ready to clean and clarify, so we will kick that habit off at auditions too! There will be one thrashy Burly Q number, and one character-driven number with a fairly hip hop flair. In-person reviews will be listed below and all are optional but we highly recommend them!

Wednesday 11/11:

7:30pm Vega 360 “The Class”

Shay will be teaching the Burly Q piece in a classroom format. Please register in advance the way you normally would for any class.

What we do: We have six themed shows throughout the year. Fairy Tale, Nautical, A Wedding Story, Rock and Roll, Halloween and Christmas. We do it to charm and delight our audiences, and to tell stories. The idea is to invite the crowd in on the experience and make them feel like they are a part of it, not just watching a recital or a showcase.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Commitment: to the bit, willingness to try something a little silly, being a generous ENTERTAINER. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being delightful. Mistakes happen and how you recover from them is important.
• Amazing Attitudes. Behind the curtain, in rehearsals, in classes and remembering you represent the studio and our shows in and out of the building.
• Helpfulness. Help the directors, captains, and teammates by helping set up the rehearsal space, filming for each other, and asking where you can be of service, or just jumping when you see a need.
• Preparation. Try to come to rehearsals with knowledge of the choreography, meet up with a buddy if you need extra help. This creates a space for rehearsals where we are clarifying things, setting formations, making changes, or even teaching something new.
• Joining the vision. Certain shows are a product of our prior heavy planning, cost, hours, choreography etc to create a packaged experience that is our vision come to life. Being willing to participate in that and remembering that strangers will be coming to see these is important. We are creating things that truly don’t exist anywhere else!

If all of those things align with you, and you think it’s cool, we want to see your face!

Being a member of the cast comes with a lot of work and responsibility, but at the end of the day we want to have fun together, we want to create magic. Our sincerest hope is that this program continues to grow, and makes Vega 360 a reason for people to come visit Portland, just to see what we’ll do this time. We know we can’t do that without dancers who are excited to perform and learn in a professional environment. If that sounds like you, please continue with the process! We can’t wait to see you at auditions!
