[Courtney Laves]

Cleveland City Dance Company 
2010 Audition 
Sunday, April 17 from 1:00-3:00pm
 
 
The Cleveland City Dance Company (CCDC) audition is open to all serious dancers of ballet ages 10-19.  The company has two annual performances in June and December as well as performs at Festivals and local schools. The audition is also the day when you may apply for the E. John Busser Scholarship if you are ages 13-19.  Applications are available upon request at the Front Desk and online at www.clevelandcitydance.com under Company information. 
 
All potential Company members must audition in May prior to the upcoming season. This includes all current Company members.  The audition class will be taught by the Company Artistic and Executive Director, Courtney J. Laves-Mearini and judged by a professional dancer not affiliated with the Cleveland City Dance school or CCDC Company.  Previous judges have been Jennifer Savnovos formerly of Ballet Theater of Ohio and Samantha Basford formerly of the Miami City Ballet. This year Brian Murphy of the Verb Ballets will return.
 
 If unable to attend the May audition, it is be possible to schedule an alternative audition with the Artistic Director of the Company, Courtney J. Laves-Mearini.  In lieu of an in-personal audition, one may submit a DVD audition. The DVD audition requirements are:
 

A 15-20 minutes demonstration of barre and center technique.  The barre technique shown should include pliés, battement tendus, battement jété, ronde de jambe, passé, développé en croix, grande battements and balances on one leg.  The center technique should include adagio, pirouettes, petite allegro and grande allegro.  (For advance female dancers the center should be on pointe.)
 

A classical variation one to two minutes in length.  (On pointe for advanced ladies) 
This is to show your technical abilities along with performing presence.
