Over 250 dancers attended the open auditions for the Nets Dancers held on Sunday July 10th. Forty finalists have been invited to return tonight to audition along with last year’s team for 14 open spots. Celebrity judges Paul “Cubby” Bryant of Z100, MTV VJ Vanessa and Broadway Dance Center’s Ginger Cox will assist with tonight’s selection of 13 Nets Dancers and three additional candidates who will compete for the final spot to be selected by the fans. Check back Tuesday for your chance to view the candidates’ final auditions and to vote your favorite dancer onto the team!

The Nets Dancers held a pre-audition workshop with one of New York's hottest choreographers on June 30th. This workshop provided dancers with the opportunity to learn Nets Dancer choreography and to receive insider tips from the audition judges.
