ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT DO I WEAR TO AUDITIONS?
Wear something that will express your personality, your own personal style! Also, make sure that its something you are comfortable dancing in.
DO YOU HAVE AUDITION PREPARATORY CLINICS THAT I CAN ATTEND?
We usually do, but will be unable to this year (2006) due to additional performances late in the season.
WHAT WILL AUDITIONS BE LIKE?
Candidates will have be taught a short routine and perform that
routine in small groups in front of a panel of 3-5 judges.
Then, each candidate will be able to display any special abilities,
such as tumbling, turning, breaking, etc. Auditions may also
consist of a short interview if deemed necessary by the judges.
WHAT ARE YOUR HEIGHT AND WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS?
We do not have any. Applicants should be in good physical condition.

The judges look at
your appearance, showmanship, dance ability, as well as poise,
personality, a great attitude, and community service.
HOW MANY DANCERS WILL BE SELECTED?
As stated in the group’s constitution, the troupe will
consist of no more than 20 members, which up to 5 can be alternates.
Also, there is no set limit to the number of male dancers that
may be selected in any given season.

DO CURRENT TEAM MEMBERS HAVE TO RE-AUDITION?
Yes, all members must go through the audition process each season
and are not guaranteed their place on the team.
WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT?
Being an AU Rhythm Troupe member is not a huge commitment. The
troupe averages about 3 performances per month in addition
to community service projects. Many of our team members have
jobs and are involved in various organizations on campus.
