      Auditions ~ 2013 - 2014
          Nutcracker  & Tangled

Date of Auditions ~ Saturday, August 24th
By appointment

Auditions will start at 10am and go every
15 minutes. See me to make an appointment.

For a part en pointe please audition en pointe.
There will be a $15 audition fee that will go toward
performances expenses. 

Eligibility ~ Anyone from Miss Haley's Ballet 6
last season and pre-pointe.
Lead role must be taking 3 adv ballets or more
and be available to rehearse up to 5 days a week.
Everyone else must take at least 2 adv ballets.

Requirements ~
Music ~ Any song you choose is fine minimum
of 2 minutes maximum of 3 minutes.

This year you may choose classical ballet or
contemporary ballet.

This must be original choreography.

Costume in you favorite color.

Leave 16 counts free. You will pick a piece of paper out of a hat that might say, Por de bras,
2 glissades a pas de chat and grand jete,
or leap combination etc…..
You will choose this when you arrive so you can 
think of how you would like to incorporate it.

The judges and I will ask you what part you 
are trying for, ask for your dream part but have some back ups. It might take more than 1 audition
to receive that dream part.
I can tell you now everyone will get a 
part might be a solo, duet, dancers auditioning
for the first time or younger dancers may 
end up in a corps piece.
Remember that seniority does factor in, a dancer 
auditioning for the first time most normally won't 
be cast as a lead, but I'm not saying never either.
I always like to have the Senior Girls graduating
be cast in a special part.
Remember every part is a important and whatever 
you get cast as own it, make it the best it can be
thats one of the things that makes great dancers.

All that being said there are other factors
that are involved in casting.

** Attitude ~ Which might be the most important
how your attitude is in class, toward the 
other dancers, toward the teachers.
Your manners in class are so important we watch
you all year decisions are not made on audition
alone.

**Attendance ~ Making it to class is so important
at this level you should let us know if you are not
going to be in class and why just as a courtesy.
Homework, Family, if you are ill are all great 
reasons obviously school and family should
take priority. 

**Those of you still in school must keep your grades
up. This is also very important to me.

**If you miss two rehearsals without letting me 
know you are in danger of losing your part.
It is your responsibility to make rehearsal time
with me or your choreographer.

I am always very excited for this process
and can't wait to see what you come up with.

Good Luck :) Let me know when you can,
if you are auditioning and what time you would 
like and if you have any questions at all 
please feel free to ask.
This next year is going to be a great one.

Miss Helene
