Before First Round Auditions, three clinics will be offered to give all hopeful candidates the chance to learn the routine that will be used at the final audition, taught by Grizz Girls choreographer Tamara Moore. Clinics will also offer candidates advice on what to wear, make-up tips, how to make the final cut and opportunities to hear from professional dancers. Pre-audition Clinics will be held Thursday, June 25; Thursday, July 9 and Thursday, July 16. All clinics start at 6 p.m. and are held at New Ballet Ensemble (2157 York Avenue Memphis, 38104). The cost is $25 per clinic, $40 for two or $60 for all three. Pre-register online at Grizzlies.com.
Going on now and continuing through auditions, Moore also hosts GirlPlay Prep Classes to teach participants basic dance and performance techniques alongside current Grizz Girls. Classes are held weekly on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. at SubRoy Studios (2345 Whitten Road) and Thursdays at 7 p.m. at Studio Gray (8160 Macon Road). The cost is $10 per class or $7 for those with a valid college/university ID. Dancers of all skill levels are invited to take part in the classes, pre-audition clinics and audition. To register for the pre-audition clinics and classes go to Grizzlies.com.
While participation in the pre-audition clinics and classes is encouraged, all qualified dancers are invited to participate in any of the three First Round Auditions. Once these auditions are completed, the group of finalists will compete for a spot on the 2015-16 Grizz Girls team at the Final Auditions which will be announced at a later date.
Prospective dancers must be a high school graduate and at least 18 years of age to participate in the Grizz Girls audition. For more information on auditions call (901) 205-1411 or e-mail grizzgirls@grizzlies.com.
