Audition Guidelines

  • Dancers should wear the following:

    • Black leggings or sweatpants

    • A black tight-fitting top (tank, t-shirt, or long-sleeve)

    • Running or work-out sneakers. These must be in good shape so that they still support and protect the foot & ankle. If the shoes have been primarily used as street shoes, they MUST BE CLEANED before use at the audition.

    • Hair in a neat ponytail with the sides slicked back. For short hair, a half-up/half-down look or a secure headband is preferred to keep hair out of the face.

    • No wrist jewelry or watches, as they can easily break or become damaged.

    • Dancers may substitute a black leotard for the black top.

Audition Materials

  • Dancers of all grades will learn the same combo for the 2025-2026 year. Our company director will review the routines at the beginning of the audition and answer any questions.

Here is a step-by-step guide to slowing down the video in the YouTube app or on the website.

1️⃣ Play your video
Tap or click the video like normal so it starts playing.

2️⃣ Find the gear ⚙️ button
Look for a tiny gear icon on the video player.
👉 On a phone, tap the screen first so the buttons appear.

3️⃣ Tap or click the gear
A small menu will pop up.

4️⃣ Choose “Playback speed.”

This shows speed options.

5️⃣ Pick a slower speed
Tap 0.75 or 0.5 to slow the video down.
(0.5 = super slow… great for learning moves!

Once you have learned the moves, try to speed them up! YOU GOT THIS

DIRECTORS' ADVICE: We want EVERYONE to try the choreography — no perfection required. We’re looking for effort, growth, and the courage to jump in and learn. To help you feel confident, we suggest coming to our audition clinic, where you can practice, get support, and have fun along the way. Come ready to try your best, cheer each other on, and show us what you’re capable of — you might surprise yourself! 

 

Hip Hop Company Requirements

  • Hip Hop Company members must be enrolled in their weekly company class. It is required in our 2026-27 year that company members enroll in hip hop and/or jazz class to maintain technique, as this company class will predominantly be used for choreographing material for the upcoming competition season.

  • Regular class attendance is mandatory and strictly enforced. The office should be notified via email every time a student has a conflict with class and will be absent or late.

  • Attire and appearance for all classes must be professional and clean.

  • In addition to their spring competitions, dancers are required to participate in our NorthPark Christmas performance, Teamwork Concert, and PCD Spring Recitals. All performances and competitions are mandatory.

    More information about company policies will be shared in the invitation letter for Hip Hop Company. Any questions about these policies, including tuition and fees, may be directed to the PCD office.
