Auditions for the 2012–13 Reverie Dance Company (RDC) are Aug. 29, at Reverie Dance Academy, 1157 N. Arlington Heights Road, Buffalo Grove.

Auditions for the 2012–13 Reverie Dance Company (RDC)
will be held Wednesday, Aug. 29th, at Reverie Dance
Academy, 1157 N. Arlington Heights Road, Buffalo Grove.
Dancers auditioning should arrive at least 15 minutes before
their scheduled audition time for check-in and to receive an
audition number.


• 5–6 p.m.: 6–8 year olds
• 6:30–7:30 p.m.: 9–11 year olds
• 7:45–8:45 p.m.: 12–14 year olds


Dancers should audition with their own age group unless
otherwise instructed. Auditions for the 15–18 year old age
group are by invitation only. If dancers are interested in
auditioning for RDC but are unable to attend the Aug. 29th
tryout, contact the Artistic Director to arrange for a private
evaluation.

Dancers should arrive in a black, spaghetti-strap leotard
and pink, tan or black tights with pink ballet shoes and
tan slip-on jazz shoes. Please—no shorts, pants or skirts
for the audition. Hair should be pulled back securely in a
ballet bun.


Dancers will be taught and then need to perform
combinations in ballet and jazz. Dancers also will be
evaluated on flexibility, turns (pirouettes), jumps across
the floor (jetes) and performance ability.

Members of the Reverie Dance Companies (RDC)
represent the best of Reverie Dance Academy. The goal
of Reverie Dance Company is to offer the dancers the
opportunity to perform as often as possible throughout
the year. In addition to the annual Showcase in June,
RDC members will perform at Buffalo Grove Days
(Labor Day weekend), one to two Holiday Shows
(December), two Conventions/Competitions per year,
and one to two other competitions per year. The exact
competition schedule will not be finalized until late
fall. All performances, conventions and competitions are
mandatory.


The company will be comprised of six age groups:


• Petite Company (Ages 6–9)
• Mini Company (Ages 6–9)
• Junior Company (Ages 9–12)
• Pre-Teen (Ages 11–13)
• Teen Company (Ages 14–18)
• Senior Company (15+)

Please note, the age groupings listed above are subject to
change. Company placement is based primarily on dance
technique/ability, not age. Dancers interested in making the
company are required to audition. An audition does not
guarantee a spot in the company. Dancers will be contacted
either by phone or email by Monday, Sept. 3, with their
audition results.


Audition Clinics
Though not required, dancers are highly encouraged to attend our
Audition Clinics on Monday, Aug. 27th, & Tuesday, Aug. 28th. If your
dancer plans to attend one or both of the clinics, you must reserve your space
in advance by filling out the form below and submitting payment.
During the clinics, dancers will have the opportunity to review dance
technique and gain helpful audition advice. Audition ballet and jazz
combinations will not be taught until the day of the actual audition.
