Competitions
TDS conducts auditions differently than most studios. Instead of large group auditions, dancers schedule a time to come in and audition individually.
Auditions will be held on Saturday, June 14th. Dancers may audition for tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop, contemporary, and lyrical. Auditions are open to dancers ages 6 and up.
If a dancer is unable to attend in person, they may submit video auditions instead.
