These auditions have a contemporary focus and are part of a workshop and will include a warm-up, across-the-floor progressions, and a combination.
For the full-year Broken Rhythms Contemporary Training Program, in-person workshop auditions will be announced at a later date (TBA).

At the conclusion of each intensive, every student will receive an individualized feedback form outlining their strengths and areas for growth.
