SENIOR OUTSTANDING DANCER SCHOLARSHIPS
sponsored by Capezio/Ballet Makers

• NYC Dance Alliance seeks to provide dancers (16-18) with a professional New York audition experience through a scholarship audition class. Audition class will commence with an open discussion on audition technique, followed by a short ballet and jazz combination.

• Only auditionees will be given access to the audition ballroom. Absolutely no observers.

• An elimination round may occur during the audition class.

• At the completion of the audition class, doors will be open to all registered teachers, students and observers for the "Convention Finale" which will include final scholarship performances, judging, and awards.

• ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
(1) Dancers must be registered for entire workshop as a Senior - ages 16-18 only (age as of Regional Convention date).
(2) Dancers will be assigned numbers and attendance will be monitored in all classes in their age classification during the convention weekend. Dancers may be asked to perform combinations from workshop classes during final audition judging.
(3) Dancers planning to attend the Scholarship Audition class must notify the registration desk by Sunday 8:15 AM. Preregistration will be accepted by mail with initial workshop registration.

This presentation includes a special CAPEZIO Performance Made Perfect Award, scholarships to STEPS ON BROADWAY, PERIDANCE CENTER and BROADWAY DANCE CENTER and a 2010 NYCDA National Season Finale!
