We choose the company of 20 dancers from an annual audition held in July. Any young dancer aged 13 to 21 years from Hampshire, Southampton or Portsmouth can apply to join. We look for committed dancers with some experience of contemporary dance, and bags of enthusiasm for creating and performing.
Each audition lasts two hours and consists of a dance class followed by some creative tasks.

We will be auditioning again in July 2008.
