STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT TWA AUDITION OPPORTUNITY!
Auditions for aspiring members of Tappers With Attitude Youth Ensemble, Silver Spring's award-winning company known for innovation, top-notch tap training, and professional-quality ensemble work, will be held on Wednesday, June 17, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. Tap dancers ages 10-and-up, currently working at an advanced beginner/intermediate level, are eligible to audition. (For dancers who are 8 or 9 years old, read about our great new program for Training Workshop.)
Auditions will include technique work and observation by all three directors; participating dancers will be taught the audition combination as part of the audition process. Dancers may also present a one-minute solo, if they wish.
During the audition session, there is also a mandatory meeting for parents of audition candidates. At least one parent per dancer must join current TWA parents for an informational session for prospective parents, including a question-and-answer period.
