SLCC Dance Company

The SLCC Dance Company is an auditioned performing group at the College. Our mission is to support excellence in the art of dance. We perform mostly modern and jazz dance, but include ballet, tap, African, and many other genres. Dancers have an opportunity to work with guest choreographers (professional dancers from the community), faculty and the best of student choreography. We strive to give a broad range of professional caliber experiences in creativity and performance.

Auditions for membership in Dance Company for the academic year 2006-2007 will be held March 25, 2006 as well as the first Friday of Fall Semester, August 25, 2006. On March 25, 2006, the audition will be held at 10:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. in W-230 Dance Studio, on the South City Campus, 1575 South State Street, Salt Lake City. On Friday, August 25, 2006, auditions will be held at 12:30 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. in Dance Studio W-226 on the South City Campus, 1575 South State Street, Salt Lake City. There are partial tuition waivers available for selected students from this audition. You must call to reserve an audition place (957-4908).

For the auditions, just come ready to dance. We will have a technique class, teach a short jazz combination, short modern dance combination, and participate in a group improvisation. You need to be able to stay that entire time. You do not need to prepare any choreography. Both men and women are welcome and you must have previous dance experience. You also must register as a student at SLCC to be a member and, if you are chosen, register for DNC.1800 (which meets M, W, F, 12:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m. at South City Campus). Dance Company is a year long commitment.
