AUDITION PARTNER

​Each participant is responsible to bring their own partner to audition with. Auditions go much better for the participant if they have a partner they have practiced with beforehand and are comfortable dancing with. Only those auditioning for the program need to pre-register.  If you don't have a partner, arrive early to find someone to dance with you.  We will have a faculty member in the warm up room if you need help finding someone.

Girls: black skirt & black top

COVID PROTOCOLS

BYU has policies in place that we will need to follow for this audition on May 22.
​
  1. All dancers, spectators, and staff will need to wear a mask while in the Richards Building.
  2. Only 1 support person per dancer will be allowed in the building.  This person will be able to watch their dancers cha cha/ waltz audition. (NOTE:  The Youth, grades 10-12, Choreography Clinic and Performance portions of the audition are always CLOSED to spectators.  The Cha Cha/ Waltz portion that you can watch will go from approximately 8:30-9:30 am to help you plan)
  3. We will have plenty of sanitizer available and will encourage sanitizing at check-in, before changing partners, and when entering the audition room.
  4. We will have many colored dots on the floor that will help space the lines while you wait to check-in and while you wait to audition.  Please use these to help us spread people out.  
  5. Chairs will be spaced out in the warm up and audition rooms.  Please do not move them.
  6. Please do not enter the building if you are sick.  Contact byuyouthdancesport@gmail.com ASAP if you end up being sick and we will sort out a video audition.
  7. THANK YOU!  Thank you for help in following these few protocols on audition day.
