An Annual Winter Schowcase to Remember
FORWARD
Madames and Messiurs, bonjour. It’s that special time of year again where we celebrate the art of ballet with a lovely winter recital. This year holds a special secret theme that’s only few have heard so far… but I have full confidence it will NOT disappoint. This post is centered around audition processes that will be underway very soon and I can’t stress how importantly it is that you pay attention to what it says. Take time to read it and if you have any more questions, feel free to reach out on our Discord or my Twitter. If you don’t have access to either od those platforms, direct your question to a staff member and they will rely it to me, if needed.
CHARACTERS
Yes, you heard right- characters. This year we have a real production based off a classical ballet; with a twist. You must choose a character to audition for, otherwise you may be put into a role we believe suits you best. Please, prepare ahead of time.
Lioness
FEMALE (2 spots)
ORANGE-YELLOW LEOTARD
The Lioness is a fierce but graceful queen of the cats. Must be able to perform choreography quickly WHILE traveling cross the floor. (This means using the keypad rather than the GUI.)
Minimum requirements: Very ambitious Level 1 student or Level 2+.
Chickens
HENS AND ROOSTERS (As many spots as we can fill)
FEMALE AND MALE
RED LEOTARD
Preferably we’d like 2 of each type- hens and roosters. To play this part you must be able to jump in the air while switching moves. Think of the way a chicken pecks at the ground; in the same way you will be performing choreography.
Minimum requirements: Level 1+
Penguins
FEMALE AND MALE (3 spots)
BLACK OR WHITE LEOTARD
These roles have a special ability that the other agent will not have due to he nature of penguins sliding around. Practice your traveling skills.
Minimum requirement: Level 2+
Elephants
MALE (2-5 spots)
ANY LEOTARD OR DANCE OUTFIT
These roles also have a special ability, like the penguins. Practice spinning around using shiftlock while pressing the keypad dance buttons insead of the GUI!
Minimum requirement: Level 1+
Secret Role 1
MALE OR FEMALE (4 spots)
ANY LEOTARD
This is a secret role that we aren’t announcing the name of since it would give away big clues as to the surprise with this recital. This role isn’t fairly easy to audition for, so just give it a go with your best skills!
Minimum requirement: any Level
Secret Role 2
FEMALE (only 1 spot here)
ANY LEOTARD
Another secret role that only Bonnie knows about. Practice shift lock spinning, keypad dancing AND traveling.
Minimum requirement: Level 3+
There is one more role available but it will be reserved for a staff member. If nobody is able to do it, this will be updated with that character.
AUDITION PROCESS
Know who you want to audition for? Great! Let’s walk you through the process of auditioning.
KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER
- Auditions will work similar to real-world dance auditions in that there will be divided sections to test your group choreography, solo choreography and acting skills.
- You must follow all regular Roblox rules while auditioning or you will be subject to disqualification.
- If you aren’t listening to instructions given by admins in the auditions, you may be disqualified from participating in a session.
- Please come to your audition prepared, or else we may auto-assign you a role, if we even see fit.
- Even if you make a mistake, do your best!
First Section of Auditions
You will be given a number and asked to get into formation. Don’t move until told to do so. Similar to our regular class structure, you will be given short choreography that you must perform. You will be judged on accuracy and ability to perform correctly in the short amount of time given.
Second Section of Auditions
Since everyone may not get a chance to create a dance beforehand, you will be given random music and you’re job is to improv or perform choreography you’ve been practicing. This is your chance to wow us with your unique skills!!!
Final Section of Auditions
This will be a test for you to repeat lines we will give you. You will be judged of accurate spelling, how quickly you can respond and your overall general attitude. This is all for fun, but please be professional too 
SCHEDULE
Bonnie will be hosting auditions once in the morning and once in the evening starting the week of 12/1. Check back for specific times on 11/28.
CONCLUSION
If you have any more questions PLEASE don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I can’t wait to see what you have in store
