Hello Beautiful Dancers!

Orlando Bellydance will be holding its semi-annual auditions for dancers on May 23rd and 24th. (times TBD). We hope you'll share your talents with us!

We will be casting for members of:

*Gypsy Sa'har (authentic gypsy dance tribe focusing on the many regions that include "gypsy" dancing from Turkey to Spain)
*Orlando Dance Theatre- (Cabaret Style Bellydance and World Dances including bollywood, salsa, samba, hip hop and polynesian.) Professional dancers or dancers with a strong classical training background are encouraged to audition.
*Serpentina Dance Company- (Bellydance with a gothic flair as well as theatrical and experimental dance)
*Ahlaam Dancers- Cabaret Style Bellydance, sometimes with a modern twist.

All present dance company members will be asked to re-audition at this time.

We will also be casting for soloists hireable for paid dancing opportunities through our talent agency for restaurants, special events and conventions, as well as "sub" positions for our Tu Tu Tangos ensemble show.

What you need to audition: Please bring a resume documenting your training and performances as well as a photo of you in full costume/makeup. Dancers will be asked to perform a 3-4 minute solo of their choice, and may be asked to learn a short movement combination. Solo pieces will ONLY be viewed by Orlando Bellydance staff. If you are auditioning for more than one genre (i.e. polynesian and bellydance) please prepare a short example of each.

Dancers chosen must take at least one technique class per week, as well as attend all rehearsals.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns regarding auditions. I know it can seem intimidating to audition, but we do try to make it as warm of an environment as possible. The audition process is a great learning experience, even if you don't "make it" into a troupe. Detailed feedback on auditions can be provided confidentially upon request.

Remember....life is short..believe in yourself! You never know until you try!

We look forward to seeing you!
More info coming soon!

Happy Shimmies!
