Click here to sign up now for prep classes! The best way to get that extra edge for RPD auditions is to attend one or all of our annual pre-audition workshops. Prep classes are not mandatory to audition, but definitely give participants a sneak peek at style, choreography, teaching speed, and more. All five master classes will feature choreography taught by RPD coaches and captains. What's new and different this year? The first prep class (June 12, 2:30-4:30 p.m.) will focus primarily on Round 1, with more attention given to individual dancers. A short sideline routine will be taught to the entire group with the remaining time spent in small groups. In your small group you can expect a customized technique session and tips on freestyle, fitness and perfecting the RPD style of dance. You'll leave with info on what you specifically need to work on in the month leading up to auditions! For the remaining four classes (June 28 & 30, July 5 & 7, all 7:30-9:30 p.m.), all classes will feature a warm-up, across-the-floor technique session, Q&A session, and full hip-hop or jazz routine as performed this year on the Toyota Center court. Each class will offer different routines and Q&A topics to help you feel extra prepared for the big day. Like last year, we're selecting one dancer from each class to advance straight to Round 2 on July 9! Class size is limited, so register now to reserve your spot. All classes and preliminary auditions will take place at the Memorial Hermann Wellness Center, located at 7731 Southwest Freeway (59 and Beechnut). Please arrive early for check-in/registration. Prep class dates are Sunday, June 12, Tuesday, June 28, Thursday, June 30, Tuesday, July 5, and Thursday, July 7. Preliminary auditions are closed to the public and will begin Saturday, July 9 and continue through Sunday, July 10. Finalists will be expected to complete a professional interview and weekday evening training camp. Audition finals are open to the public and will take place Wednesday, July 20 at House of Blues (the team will be announced that night)! Once you register by faxing or mailing your form, we'll check in with you to see if you have any specific questions. And don't forget to check back with us here for special features and more!
