DANCE COMPANY AUDITIONS, PLACEMENTS, & UNDERSTUDIES

Mt. Zion’s Dance Company begins in July and culminates the following May. Mt. Zion has only one Dance Company, but it is possible for students to be selected for and invited to participate in more than one routine. Although we encourage and look forward to having each of our students accept all of the opportunities offered to them, we recognize the level of commitment required by both our parents and students in order to do so. As such, please review the rehearsal, performance, and financial expectations carefully prior to making a commitment. Each participant is critical to the success of the program and once registered, changes to a routine is not easily made.

Dance Company auditions will take place the week of June 12th and will be held at the Mt. Zion Performing Arts studio (4900 Maybee Rd, Clarkston, MI 48348. We will be sending out the audition form and an advance copy of the audition choreography so you can prepare prior to the audition. Please click here to register to audition. The registration deadline is May 31, 2023, so that we can eMail you the audition form and choreography you need. We will be auditioning the students in small groups based on the technique they are interested in. In order to maintain our social distancing, we are also in need of parent volunteers to help with this event. If you are available to help, please sign up on Sign Up Genius at the same link as the audition.

Please sign up to audition based on your age and your technique of interest (i.e., if you are 12 and interested in both Hip Hop and Jazz, you would sign up under Senior Company in both the Hip Hop and Jazz time slot). For those interested in being considered for Elite Company, a short interview is being included as part of the audition process. Each interview session will be ten minutes so you will need to sign up for an interview time slot when you register for the audition. An eMail was sent just before or after Memorial Day with a link to the choreography needed as well as the Audition Application that needs to be brought to your audition. Please come to the audition prepared with your choreography, a completed copy of your Audition Application along with a head shot/school picture. The audition will have a one-time fee of $50 per student.

Company Placements will be available by 5pm on June 30, 2023.

Understudies are an integral part of the Mt. Zion Performing Arts’ Dance Company. When a student is listed as an understudy company member for Mt. Zion they will perform in their company dance at the current season’s spotlight and recital. The student will be observed in both company and technique classes. With dedication and hard work, the understudy will be evaluated by the teacher for participation in the company routine for competition. As is the case in the arts, the understudy could fill another student’s position due to an unexpected absence to cover choreography.

HANDICAP PARKING

There is a designated handicap parking lot adjacent to Door #1 in the main parking lot. You can access this parking lot by entering at the Mt. Zion sign off Maybee Rd. Please note, there are a limited number of spaces in this lot so if a handicap space is needed, we encourage you to arrive early. Depending on traffic, we also have the ability to ‘drop off’ any family member with limited mobility at Door #1 and then it is possible for the driver to finish parking the vehicle and meet their family member in the center lobby. Again, if this is of interest, we recommend you arrive early. Otherwise, traffic patterns limit maneuverability in the parking lot to park your vehicle after Drop Off. We look forward to seeing you at our events and if you have any questions, please call us at (248) 391-6166.

ABOUT US

Focused on living a healthy lifestyle, the facility will offer classes to strengthen and define muscles, improve balance, and increase stamina. Coaches will be prepared to offer modifications to meet the level of each student in the class. Our facility is suitable for those just starting out on their journey and those who have been focused on fitness for a while. What to expect:

  • We encourage comfortable modest activewear and ask that you wear indoor sneakers when in the fitness center.
  • We offer two locker rooms with changing areas, one of which has showers.
  • We have all the fitness equipment you need but encourage you to bring your own yoga mat to class. We offer foam mats which are great for fitness and restorative yoga, but many prefer a thinner mat for slow flow classes.
