"Girls, I'm going to Harvard!"

I booked my ticket to NYC! June 1-3rd. So short, but I can't miss too many days of work.

Dave Clemmons Casting is running the auditions, so I grabbed the break down from their website. I'd REALLY love to play Elle but of course I'd accept anything.

FEMALE DANCERS 20s – early 30s, all ethnicities.  Trained, athletic dancers who sing well.  Should be Abercrombie & Fitch/sorority types.  Must have jump-roping ability.  To play a variety of roles in the ensemble (Sorority Members, Harvard Students, Marching Band, Cheerleaders, Inmates, Salespeople, etc.) and possibly understudy principal roles.

Please be warmed up and prepared to dance with athletic sneakers and form fitting dance clothes appropriate to the style of the show (Southern California/Abercrombie & Fitch) at the appointed time.  Please prepare 16 bars of an up-tempo pop belt song with sheet music in the correct key, in case you are called back to sing.  Bring your book in case you are asked for an additional selection.  Bring headshot/resume stapled together.


They say that we should wear dance sneakers but my dancing is definitely NOT as good as when I wear character shoes or ballet slippers. Plus, the outfits I can wear with dance sneakers is VERY limited and I don't particuarly like the choices. Do you think they are REALLY ganna care if I show up in something other than dance sneakers? Do you think they'd see it as a "she can't follow directions, let's not cast her" thing??
