Welcome to the Royal Bay Dance Academy
Advanced Academy 2022/2023 Audition Information:
The following information is for the Royal Bay Advanced Dance Academy 2022-2023 school year. Information about the 2023/2024 school year will be available in January 2023. Please check back then.
Advanced Audition
When: Wednesday February 16th at 4:00-6:00pm (please arrive 15 min. early to check in)
Where: Small Gym at Royal Bay Secondary School (3500 Ryder Hesjedal Way)
What to wear: Form fitting dance clothing such as tank top and dance shorts or dance pants along with jazz shoes, foot undeez or bare feet. Hair should be up.
How to prepare: You do not need to prepare a routine ahead of time. Expect to run through a “dance class style” audition with warm up, cross floor and combination. Genres covered will include jazz, lyrical and hip hop.
Who will be judging me: There will be five to six professionals there to participate in the judging process, all of whom are accomplished dancers and choreographers in Victoria. A Judges’ Bio will be handed out at the audition so you will have personal background information on the instructor and judges to take home with you.
We look forward to your audition! Try not to be nervous - many students in the past have found the experience to be a lot of fun and a good learning experience!
