Dance auditions can be intense and intimidating, but they don't have to be! This class is geared towards the actor that is a mover, but would like to strengthen and improve their dance technique and auditioning skills. Structured as an audition, each class will teach Broadway-inspired choreography and focus on strengthening jazz fundamentals, learning to capture choreography details, improvisation, and how to give your best dance audition.

"Julana is very warm and inviting, but also brings an engaging intensity to her dance and teaching. She did a good job setting up the “stakes” (what it feels like to receive fast choreography in an audition), which brings a lot of alertness to the experience.
