Potential call backs: Tuesday, July 23, 6:30-8:30pm
Video audition available if needed.

In person audition: We’ll be teaching some phrases from pieces we’ve already choreographed for the show as well as giving some space for improvisation. Wear whatever makes you comfortable!

Virtual audition: If you’re unavailable to join us in person, please set 32 counts of movement to any high energy song of your choosing.

We are looking for 2-3 dancers to join us for a collaborative choreographic process and self-produced dance performance.

Ideally, dancers are also interested in choreographing a 3-4 minute piece (or two) for the show.

At this point we cannot guarantee any stipends for the work. This is a self-funded passion project, but we hope to make some ticket revenue.

Seeking Sub(s) for Move2Music Community Dance Classes

I have been teaching a dance-driven fitness class for 10 years – a gig I got from DanceMN!

Business is good, but I am traveling more for work and a really great sub (or two) would be great to have. Currently I can schedule teacher friends from a distance to do my online classes, but my in-person local classes are growing, too!

Interested? I will “train” you to do the easy moves that define the Move2Music class. This is a 50 minute “bell curve” class, taught in local community centers. You can use any music that inspires you – I choose a mix of  rock/Americana/Motown/techno-chill. Classes are flexible, generally Mondays at 1:00pm, Monday/Wednesday at 5:30pm or 6:00pm, Fridays at noon.

We could add more classes if you want to take it on!

If you are interested, I would love for you to come to a class, and also agree to be “trained” for a couple of hours.
