Daytona State announces auditions for resident modern dance company, Jan. 28

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 15, 2015) - Daytona State College’s resident modern dance company, Dance Theatre, under the artistic direction of Kevin Veiga, will hold auditions for the
coming season on Wednesday, Jan. 28, from 4 to 6 p.m. Auditions will take place in the Dance Studio at the News-Journal Center located at 221 N. Beach St., Daytona Beach.

The audition will consist of ballet barre and center, modern movement across the floor and learning excerpts from recent repertory. Interested students should come prepared in proper dance attire or comfortable movement-oriented clothing, dance shoes (ballet and jazz) and/or bare feet.

The Dance Theatre is primarily a modern dance company, but members should be able to perform ballet, jazz and other dance forms as called for by the choreography. An informal performance in the fall and a main stage performance in the spring will highlight the year, along with other campus and community performances scheduled as requested or needed.

Auditions are open to the community and members need not be students. Dance Theater members receive college credit if enrolled in DAA2640. Tuition assistance may be available. Rehearsals are scheduled Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. starting Monday, Feb. 2. Additional rehearsals also may be scheduled as needed. In addition, each member is encouraged to register for a technique class through the dance course offerings.

Degree-seeking students (both non-dance and dance majors) taking a full course load, who are interested in taking at least one dance technique class during the spring semester, are eligible to apply for a needs-based tuition scholarship. To apply, stop by the Daytona Beach Campus and speak with Kevin Veiga in room 116, Goddard Performance Hall,  Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2 to 4 p.m., or Wednesday, Jan. 21, 12:30 to 2 p.m. Scholarships range from three or more credit hours toward the cost of tuition per academic year. Additional scholarship awards available for participants in the DSC Dance Theatre.
