DANCE AUDITION SERIES: LAST CLASS!!!
Exciting news!!! Theatre Bay Area's Southbay General Auditions will include a Dance Call. Theaters from around the area will be sending their artistic teams to audit these auditions for their upcoming seasons.
Take advantage of this workshop to evaluate your strengths, uncover areas for improvement, and determine where to focus your training moving forward.
Zohar's Audition Workshop Series is designed to give dancers the tools, confidence, and real-world experience needed to walk into any audition and stand out.
Meet Your Next Choreographer:
July 11th | 1:30 – 2:30 PM Lee Ann Payne (theater jazz)
All three sessions: $45; Single Session: $20 Register via Mindbody and we recommend you use Zohar's website to register. Link: https://zohardancecompany.org/dance-audition-series (please use the Zohar website to register)
MOVEMENT LAB SERIES by CLAIRE ALEXANDER SESSION (1 session left)
Choreographer and Teaching Artist Claire Alexander returns to Zohar for a three-session series built around one idea: what happens when a room full of people makes something together in real time?
Each session is its own complete world. Come to one, come to all three. One can sign up for them separately.
Dates: Sundays - June 28, July 12
Time: 1:15p - 4:15p
