audition instructions

Thank you for considering Bellingham Repertory Dance. We are excited to meet you! Whether you have auditioned for BRD in the past or you are auditioning for the first time, please read all of the included information.

By clicking on the link above, you will find information about our collective, what it is to be a member of BRD, tentative season dates, and realities of commitment to BRD. Please take a moment to read that page through and if you have any questions at all, feel free to email us at bhamrep@gmail.com.

Because we are a collective-run organization, we are looking for more than a technically gifted dancer. We are looking for a versatile person to add to our community, to work shoulder-to-shoulder with to create, shift, and move our collective to the next stage in our story. Historically, that has been difficult to assess with a traditional dance audition. We want to give you the opportunity to fully introduce yourself before the in-person audition. So please relax, take your time, start early, and know that we just want to get to know you with this process.

Step 2: In-Person Audition (April 21 at the Firehouse Arts and Events Center)

We are SO looking forward to this! All current members of BRD will be present at the audition and will be switching in and out between dancing with you, teaching, and observing.

Things to remember:

  • Please enter the audition space through the beer garden and back door.

  • Please arrive at 12:00 PM. The audition will run until 3:00 PM.

  • There will be NO cuts made during the audition. You will all get your full class time, and we are excited to move with you. 

  • Attire: Wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable. There will be floorwork and we do recommend full arm and leg coverage if that suits you. The flooring will be marley, and socks are dancer's choice.
