There are several different types of video dance auditions. The majority of these may be hip hop dance auditions, since many of the pop and hip hop artists have a slew of dancers around them in their videos. However, there are many opportunities for dancers who specialize in other forms of dance to find dance video auditions as well.
Video dance auditions can call for professional ballet dancers, dancers who specialize in cabaret, burlesque or Fosse styles of dancing, ballroom dancers and more. If you remember back to Princes video for Diamonds and Pearls, there was a ballet dancer featured in it. Some of Madonnas videos feature some dancing in the sexy burlesque tradition, which dates back to pre-WWI European cabaret shows.
Other popular artists have featured belly dancers, tango dancers, broadway dancers, and many others. Video dance auditions can offer a platform for dancers who wish to explore the creative side of some of todays top choreographers. They can also provide opportunities for dancers to take part in productions, which will be shown all over the world.
Searching for Video Dance Auditions
The best way for any dancer to learn about auditions is through an agent. However, some of us are not fortunate enough to have an agent, or we are trying to build up our resumes to interest some of the top agents. Another alternative is to search dance websites. There are many who offer memberships where dancers can have access to some of the latest audition postings.
