Company Audition Format

It's going to be a very informal audition! You can audition as a solo dancer or if you feel more comfortable in a group, feel free to audition in a group and bring your friends along.  Come dressed in comfortable and appropriate active/exercise or Indian attire. You may dance in non-marking sneakers, dance sneakers, jazz shoes or barefoot. Fill out an application form. Warm up and get ready to learn a short choreographed dance, instructed by Arzan Gonda or by one of our experienced instructors, which will last for around 30 minutes. Judging will be done in small groups. Also prepare another 2 -3 minute dance of your choice. This should be choreographed in advance. Bring your own music for the audition (can be performed solo or in a group). Results will be individually emailed a week later.  We just want to see you dance with energy, passion & have a whole lot of fun!!

All Dance Experience is Relevant

ALL Dance Experience is Relevant!
Bollywood dance has elements of Jazz, Hip-Hop, Arabic and Latin Forms. If you are trained in any other dance style besides Bollywood, and are open to learning a new style feel free to contact us for an audition. We welcome all genders and ethnicities. Please contact Arzan to arrange an interview & audition.

If selected, you will get commercial dance opportunities, and potential teaching positions at Rhythm India Centers located at several different locations. You will then be contracted as a Rhythm India Troupe Dancer. Company dancers participate in choreography, class instruction, and perform with Rhythm India at special events.

Requirements

You must be available for weekend (morning/afternoon) rehearsals during shows or other productions and also be available for dance performances and events held locally. If you have the talent or are not sure if you do, and you just want to have fun dancing then come for the audition. You will be trained by an experienced Bollywood choreographer which will help you to nurture your skill to its best possible level. We are looking for people who are passionate & committed dancers.

Rhythm India Strives To

  • Create public awareness of traditional and mainstream South Asian culture, and to continue celebrating our culture and heritage through our work.
  • Make a difference through dance. We will continue to raise money for causes that are dear to us by having our "Dance For Life" fund-raisers every other year. Our goal is to create interesting, inspiring, and thought-provoking work and at the same time help make a difference.
  • Produce art that represents the times. Bollywood dance is never static, it keeps changing & adapts to other new styles of dance.
  • Formalize the discipline of Bollywood dance. By doing so, students can learn systematically through standardized basic steps & learn a repertoire of moves that are essential to developing a strong Bollywood dance base.
  • Promote total well-being. Use your entire body and focus your energy in a much more involving and enjoyable way! Dance away your stress and burn those extra calories.
  • Make dance accessible to people of ALL ages, skill levels, abilities and backgrounds. Everyone can benefit from Rhythm India classes! With the right guidance and a positive attitude, we believe that ANYONE can dance!!
