A: Yes! Please do!

Q: How much time commitment per week?
A: It varies depending on the choreographers. Usually it is two practices per week and two hours per practice.
Q: Do we compete or perform?
A: No we are not a competitive dance group (see Main Stacks). However, we have Sproul Shows (performs on Upper/Lower Sproul) and Show Cases (Julia Morgan/Zellerbach Playhouse) each semester. In addition, each choreographer’s dance is required to do an outreach performance.
Tryout Format
The choreographers will teach four to eight 8-counts as the routine and will have to perform in groups at the end. Usually have ~15-30 minutes to practice after the whole choreo is taught. Different choreographers look for different performance style, it varies from semester to semester.

Hey Members of [M]ovement,
The audition piece was very fun! What was the song called? It sounded very familiar, but I wasn’t still sure what the song was. (I attended the make-up audition, in case if the piece taught at the reg audits was different)
I was also wondering when will we be notified if we made or did not make the audition for Spring 2011?
Are videos recorded during the pre-workshop and the make-up audition going to be uploaded on youtube or something? I would like a copy of my audition just for memories
Best,
Honnie
