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 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).
