another new generation through the doors
we auditioned dancers for our new project last saturday with the help of company alumni emma porteus.
yet again i’m completely amazed by the amount of talented fresh faces coming to audition for Stompin. i don’t know if everyone realises this when they see a show, but every year we introduce up 40% new dancers to the company. people ask why there is such a high turnover of dancers: we run them ragged! actually it’s really a sign of how quickly people’s lives and in particular younger people’s lives are changing and taking new shifts and directions. i’m always sad to see dancers leaving us but happy they’re making choices about what they’re putting their focus and time to and i’m alwayx re-energised and pumped to see many new dancers knocking down the door.
so, welcome to all the new dancers who will find out how they went at the audition any day now…
