2015-16 Cavaliers Scream Team Auditions to be held at Quicken Loans Arena on Sunday, August 16th at 5:00 p.m.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are searching for Northeast Ohio’s top freestyle dancers to dance, flip and spin their way to the 2015-16 Scream Team auditions on Sunday, August 16th at 5:00 p.m. at Quicken Loans Arena. Registration begins at 4:00 p.m. Auditions are free and closed to public viewing. For a complete list of audition requirements, visit Cavs.com/ScreamTeam.

The fan-favorite Scream Team is a co-ed group of animated, hip-hop dancers known for their gravity-defying stunts, head spins and impressive dance moves. They serve as ambassadors of the Cavs organization, both on the court and in the community.

Dancers will be evaluated on several criteria including energy, dance technique and professionalism. Selected finalists will be invited back to participate in Finalist Workshops held from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. on Monday, August 17th at Quicken Loans Arena and Tuesday, August 18th at Gymnastics World of Twinsburg (9085 Dutton Road, Twinsburg, OH 44087).

“The Scream Team captivates audiences of all ages because their passion for dance shines with each move,” said Emily Smith, Cavaliers Director of Dance and Entertainment Teams. “It’s that type of electricity we’re looking to recruit during this audition process.”

The Cavaliers Scream Team is entering its 11th season under the direction of founding member, Demetris Bolling. This 2015-16 Scream Team will make their first public debut at a showcase of Cavaliers Entertainment teams this fall, prior to the start of the Cavaliers basketball season.
