SalsaChic Performance Group Auditions!

The SalsaChic Performance group will hold auditions for recruting new members for its second choreography of the year, to be performed during Spring and Summer 2010! The audition dates and times are:

- Monday, February 1st between 9:00-9:30pm (during Open Salsa)
- Thursday, February 4th between 10:00-10:30pm (after Rueda lesson)

You can choose between both dates (i.e. only need to come once), and no need to bring partners. The only requirement for auditioning is to have finished Intermediate II (or similar) level.

What you will do: In the audition, you will be evaluated in partner work, musicality and basic footwork. Please bring dancing shoes (or formal shoes), but not flipflops, sneakers, etc.

How the performance team works: We meet once a week, Mondays at 9:30PM (after Open Salsa), usually for 75-90 minutes, teaching and practicing a new choreography to be performed mainly in two events: the OLAS show (mid April) and the Chicago Salsa Festival (mid-June); we also perform in other places if needed. You need to have 90-100% attendance since we go really fast and cannot slow down for people that does not come to practices.

Benefits of being in SalsaChic: You will learn tons of new steps, and improve your leading/following, timing and musicality. You get subsidized access to Salsa Festival/Congresses and  BLDA Workshops, and it is a great way to get involved in the club, and can one day become an instructor!
