Open Auditions For Karma Dance Project
Open Auditions For Karma Dance Project
The Graceful Planet Moving Arts Center will hold open auditions for The Karma Dance Project, its ballet, jazz, hip hop and modern dance company, on Friday, October 20. Auditions will run from 4:30 until 6pm.
The studio is at 7 Berkshire Road (Route 34) in Sandy Hook; telephone 426-8215.
The Karma Dance Project has the mission of educating the community regarding dance and music through dance performances, lecture demonstrations in schools, and performances of classic children shows. Its mission is to reach the community by participating in local events, performing in schools in the local area, and community outreach.
The Karma Dance Project will be participating in one dance competition in the spring and will also be performing in The Annual Weekend of Dance at Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury, July 14 or 15.
There will be rehearsals during the week of July 9. It is not necessary to do the Quassy show to be in the Karma Dance Project.
There will be other performance opportunities during the year; updates will be provided as performances are confirmed.
Auditions will be at The Graceful Planet; dancers will have an abbreviated class and learn a combination. Dancers will be notified by mail if they are accepted into the Karma Dance Project.
There is a $300 participation fee, which includes a Karma Dance Project Company jacket, company class and rehearsals, performance time, involvement in community fundraising events, involvement in the school system promoting the arts through performances and lecture demonstrations (for selected members), participating in an outreach program to disadvantaged youth, visiting childrenâs hospitals and nursing homes (selected members), and participating in one to two dance competitions (also for selected members).
Competition fees and costumes are billed separately. This is an opportunity for dancers to share their love of dance and be part of a creative community dedicated to the arts.
Call to register, 426-8215, or sign up at the desk the afternoon of the audition.
