Break-Thru Dance Company is looking for dedicated,
passionate and versatile young dancers for BTDC's Graduate programme, 2013.
“This year we have expanded our programme's classes and our
focus is on the Ballet and Contemporary technique, with additional classes of
Yoga, Body conditioning, Afro-fusion and Ballet and Contemporary Repertoire (International
works),” says Break-Thru’s founder and artistic director, Taryn Makaab.
BTDC will bring in guest choreographers, as well as guest
teachers throughout the year, so that the pupils get a wide range of experience
from many different genres of teaching styles.
The graduate students will also be able to participate in
corporate events and productions with Break-Thru’s Free-Lance Dance Company, so
that they may experience more of the professional world and how it works in and
around Durban.
“Our mission is to grow our young dancers into a versatile
generation, that is ready for the big world. To build on passion and eliminate
any weakness they have, so that they can 'Break Thru" barriers they have
in life,” adds Taryn Makaab.
The auditions are open to male and female dancers aged 14 to
23 and will take place on January 14 at the Greyville Presbyterian Church (off
Windermere and Bishop Road) from 16h00 to 18h30. Dress code is black leotards and
footless black tights. Ballet pumps and pointe
shoes (optional).
The audition class will consist of a Ballet and Contemporary
class and the students that get through will be required to learn a solo piece
by BTDC's resident choreographer.
To book an audition slot, contact Taryn Makaab on 082 414 5992.
Deadline for response is January 10.
