Dance Company auditions will take place the week of June 12th and will be held at the Mt. Zion Performing Arts studio (4900 Maybee Rd, Clarkston, MI 48348. We will be sending out the audition form and an advance copy of the audition choreography so you can prepare prior to the audition. Please click here to register to audition. The registration deadline is May 31, 2023, so that we can eMail you the audition form and choreography you need. We will be auditioning the students in small groups based on the technique they are interested in. In order to maintain our social distancing, we are also in need of parent volunteers to help with this event. If you are available to help, please sign up on Sign Up Genius at the same link as the audition.

Please sign up to audition based on your age and your technique of interest (i.e., if you are 12 and interested in both Hip Hop and Jazz, you would sign up under Senior Company in both the Hip Hop and Jazz time slot). For those interested in being considered for Elite Company, a short interview is being included as part of the audition process. Each interview session will be ten minutes so you will need to sign up for an interview time slot when you register for the audition. An eMail was sent just before or after Memorial Day with a link to the choreography needed as well as the Audition Application that needs to be brought to your audition. Please come to the audition prepared with your choreography, a completed copy of your Audition Application along with a head shot/school picture. The audition will have a one-time fee of $50 per student.

Company Placements will be available by 5pm on June 30, 2023.

Understudies are an integral part of the Mt. Zion Performing Arts’ Dance Company. When a student is listed as an understudy company member for Mt. Zion they will perform in their company dance at the current season’s spotlight and recital. The student will be observed in both company and technique classes. With dedication and hard work, the understudy will be evaluated by the teacher for participation in the company routine for competition. As is the case in the arts, the understudy could fill another student’s position due to an unexpected absence to cover choreography.
