The Audition – Important Information
**PLEASE READ BEFORE REGISTERING BELOW**
Registration |
|
| You must complete the online registration process to receive a number and time for your audition on Sunday, July 22, 2007. Once you complete and submit the registration form online, you will be assigned a number. Note that only numbers 1 – 500 are guaranteed an audition time. If you are assigned a number 501 through 650, you will be on stand-by; those on stand-by will check in and, in the event of no-show registrants or additional time availability, will be given an audition place in the order of their arrival. We will make every effort to accommodate people interested in auditioning, but we cannot guarantee stand-bys will be seen. If your registration is #651 or higher, we won’t be able to accommodate you at this DanceQuake audition. However, if you indicated on your registration form that you would like to receive dance news, your information will remain on file with Dancers’ Group for future audition opportunities, and we will notify you if a space opens up in the DanceQuake audition schedule. |

The Audition Process, Call Backs and Finals |
|
Selection of the DanceQuake dancers will take place in the following stages:
After Round One on Sunday, July 22, if you are asked by the judging panel to return for call backs that same afternoon, you will need to arrive at 4:30 p.m. to check in for Round Two, which may last until 8:00 p.m. (In other words, if you are called back, it may be a full day.) If you are selected by the judges to go to the finals, you must be available the evening of Wednesday, August 1 for preparation for the final auditions, and all day, Saturday, August 4, 2007 for the finals. Location and time for the preparation session and final auditions will be provided to finalists. |

Arrival Time |
|
Each person’s assigned registration number has a corresponding call time (arrival time) for the audition on July 22. Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes before your call time. You must arrive by your assigned time or risk forfeiting your audition opportunity. Please note that in order to provide dancers an opportunity to be evaluated there may be significant wait times throughout the day. |
|
What to Wear |
|
| Dress comfortably in your own style. No high-heeled shoes will be allowed in the studios. Registration is outdoors and there may be significant wait time. July temperatures in San Francisco can fluctuate, so please dress accordingly. |
|
What to Expect |
|
| Come prepared to learn and perform a short dance combination. Dancers will be reviewed and selected by our panel of dance experts based on dancing ability, technique, stage presence, charisma and the ability to learn quickly. If you are called back for the second round of auditions that day starting at 4:30, you may have the opportunity to demonstrate any specialty you may have. |

Bring Snacks |
|
| It might be a long day, so bring something to snack on. Water will be provided. | |
