This semester's tryouts will be held:
When: Monday, April 11, 9:30pm
Where: RWC group exercise studio
Anyone can try out regardless of prior dance background.
Dress: Wear performance ready makeup and hair, pants so we can see your legs (not jeans or skirts), and a sports bra or top that reveals your stomach.
Auditions are broken into several sections:
1. Basic technique (each move will be briefly demonstrated)
---Shimmies---
Basic shimmy, ¾ hip shimmy, choo choo shimmy, chest shimmy
---Hip & Chest--
Hip bump, hip drop, hip lift, pelvic drop
Maya, sway, omi, hip circle
Chest slide, chest lift, chest drop, chest circle (vertical or horizontal)
--Other--

2. Choreography- To be taught at auditions
3. An optional solo- Our chance to see your personal flair! Can be any style of belly dance, roughly 1-2 minutes long (please do not go over 2). The solo is highly recommended since no deductions are made based for this section (it can only help)!
If you have any questions, you can email us, message us on Facebook, or ask us in person at our weekly Tues meetings or tabling outside the Union (Tues/Thurs).
