Audition Info

Summer Intensive Auditions

Redding Dance Centre

has been supporting & educating dancers thru

 the Summer Intensive Audition

process for over 40 years. 

Many of RDC's dancers have continued to pursue dance through degree programs,

teaching and performing. 

A FEW RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THOSE INTERESTED

 

  • Speak with your instructor(s) and let them know your goals so they can help you to reach them.

  • DO YOUR RESEARCH - Find out what is available, and what is required for the audition. ie, specific photos*, letters of recommendation, cost of class, pre-registration options. 

  • Check what  kind of housing is available for your age.

  • RDC also recommends that the dancer auditioning is at least 12 years of age with a minimum of 4 years dance training. We suggest to those interested in a pointe component to have a minimum of 2 years pointe training. 

  • RDC provides a 5 week Summer Program designed to help prepare dancers for future Intensives. 

  • Prepare your mind, presentation, work ethic and proper attire in EVERY class to be ready for the best audition you can take.

*Audition photo sessions are available by appointment during 

the month of December.
