Auditions for Spring 2025 are closed

Our three Latin-fusion teams, BGC Dance Company, Movement, and Expression, hold open auditions twice a year at the start of their Spring and Fall seasons, which last 4-5 months. Spring auditions occur in late January or early February, while Fall auditions take place in late August or early September.

Audition FAQs

Questions? Drop us a line at bgcdanceseattle@gmail.com

  • Do I need to prepare anything for auditions? 

    No! All choreography will be taught at the audition, no need to prepare any solos or other pieces.

  • How does the audition work?

    Think of it as an extended workshop with a video at the end!  The first 30 minutes will be a warm up, isolations, and stretching. We will then move into a technique section and end learning a combination. We will finish the audition by videoing each dancer doing the combo in groups. You only need to attend one audition slot to be eligible for team membership.

    After all the auditions for all the teams are finished, BGC leadership will send out results via email.

  • I'm not a salsa or bachata dancer, can I still audition? 

    Yes! Having salsa or bachata dance experience definitely will help your chances. However, if you are a mover in other styles and show an aptitude for salsa or bachata you still have a very good chance of making the teams.

  • How many years of experience do I need? 

    For intermediate teams, we typically seek dancers with a minimum of 2+ years of experience, and for advanced teams, 5+ years. However, less experience does not preclude auditioning; these are benchmarks for expected skill levels.

  • Are these partnerwork or footwork teams? 

    They are all footwork teams, each dancer will dance individually. There will be no partnerwork in this season's choreographies.

  • How does the video audition work? 

    You will receive an email with instructions after you sign up for the video audition option!
