Males and Females are encouraged to audition. We are looking for dancers with a positive attitude who are enthusiastic, committed and want more performing experience.
This is a group audition, no advanced preparation is necessary, but a SMILE never hurts! Come and have a good time! Bring ballet and jazz shoes. Arrive early enough to warm up and prepare for the audition. Students under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Astoria Dance Centre's Performance Team provides technique training as well as performance and competition experience. The Performance Team consists of one large group and 3 smaller groups based on age and ability. Students will have the opportunity to work with many different choreographers. Team classes and rehearsals will be held on Wednesdays for 2 hours.
No audition fee will be charged. If you are accepted on the Performance Team there will be additional fees and added tuition. There are a limited number of partial scholarships and work study scholarships available.

Did you know?
Sing and Speak with Joy!Created and designed by Grace Pettijohn for the joy of speaking, the joy of singing and the freedom of expression. Singing Dynamics, through discipline and theatre exercises is the precise, clear understanding and acceptance of WHO YOU ARE and who you want to become.
Unlock your true potential at any age with your total instrument by:
- learning breathing exercises and relaxation techniques that provide a feeling of confidence
- finding and developing YOUR own vocal range and style
- freeing the instrument and finding the joy that will give you a voice that springs from emotion
- expression through poetry, music, writing and the latest songs.
The above can be applied to everything in your life: education, employment and relationships at any age and at any level.
