Student Showcase Audition

Student Showcase is held at the  CDDS/DFA Banquet
Sunday, February 9 at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet, Cranston RI

Dancers who have been at CDDS for 5 years or more are invited to audition a group student choreographed routine!
Here is your chance to get together with your dance friends and show us your creative side. We want to see what inspires YOU in dance! Students should get together in small groups on their own time and explore the choreographic and team work processes. Have fun with it! This is supposed to be a fun time with dance friends :)

Submit entries  by December 10, 2024.
Submit entries ASAP as they must be approved to avoid duplicates and appropriate song selection.

Auditions: Friday, January 10, 2025, 4pm @ Warwick Studio
Auditions are closed to CDDS staff only. Dancers dismissed as they audition. See below for details.
