Narnia Leads, Ensemble, and Finale Dancers

Narnia Leads and Ensemble

We are looking for lead dancers and Narnia Ensemble dancers who want to be involved in our Narnia production on Sunday, May 16th. Dancers must be able to commit to all scheduled rehearsals (minimal absences due to previously scheduled vacations and important life events such as Prom will be excused, but we ask that you notify us about them as soon as you find out). The first two rehearsals are mandatory since this is when we will set the choreography. For more details about each role, please scroll down. 

Please let us know what roles you are interested in being considered for by filling out the form at the bottom of the page before auditions on Friday, October 2nd. 

*Please scroll down for all rehearsal dates and times. 

Cost to participate is $95

This is a one time fee that will be charged at the time of registration. 

*There is no separate charge for costumes. Dancers may be asked to supply some pieces. Further information will be provided later.

How Casting is Decided

Many things are considered as we carefully determine casting. We will cast leads based on the audition, dancer age, height, experience level, general availability, how the cast fits together, and the interest level ranked on the interest form. Please note that rehearsals for the leads and the Narnia Ensemble will be combined.

How Rehearsals Are Run

Purpose: Rehearsals are run in order, so everyone sees how the story fits together.

Engagement: You will not be moving or dancing the entire time, but it is essential to stay focused, attentive, and engaged.

Story Awareness: Listen carefully so you understand the flow of the story and how your character fits into the big picture. 

Preparation: Be ready to step in when your part comes up - knowing your cues is just as important as performing them. 

Teamwork: There is a lot to coordinate, and success depends on everyone working together with professionalism and commitment.
