• What if I am overseas during the audition date?

Fret not; send us an online video of yourself dancing to our audition choreography by 15th April 2018, strictly 2359hrs, at alson@recognizestudios.com. We will only accept valid reasons such as employment matters, reservist and pre-scheduled trips, and will be asking for supporting documents if need be. Your video will be judged on 15th April 2018 itself by all Instructors, and does not guarantee a placing in the recital automatically. 

All auditionees are required to state their 1) full name, 2) email address, 3) phone number and 4) Audition Item in their email.

*All auditionees for Jolene’s item to send video to jolenecrosses@gmail.com (Best by google drive and enable linksharing) by 15th April, 2359. *

• How many genres can I audition for?

As many as you want, but ultimately, you can only be in a maximum of 2 items.

• Do I have to prepare/bring anything during the audition day?

Other than preparing for the choreography you will be auditioning for, you don’t have to prepare anything else. However, it will be good practice to bring your Identity Card in case we need to conduct a verification check.

• What attire should I wear for audition?

Any attire that is comfortable and does not restrict your movements. Do wear covered shoes, preferably sneakers, as barefoot will not be allowed.

• If I am already in 2 items for the recital, can I still audition for the Guest Instructor’s Item?

Yes. However, even if the Guest Instructor selects you, you will not be allowed to join a third item; unless we (the management) qualify that you can commit to it. This works on a case-by-case basis.

• If I am selected in the Guest Instructor’s Item during the audition, must I pay the Performance Fee upfront? What if I don’t have the money?

Yes. (Amount to be disclosed soon. Watch out for this space!)

Dancers are required to sign a Performance Contract before commencing the Guest Instructor’s audition such that upon being selected into the item, backing out is not an option as it is a breach of contract. Upon any breach of contract, the selected dancer will have to compensate Recognize! Studios with the above mentioned fee.

• What are the commitments like during the span of the recital?

Refer to Section (B) & (C) for individual instructor rehearsal schedules.

• When are the Vetting dates?

Vetting No.1: 22nd July 2018, Sunday @ R! (Tentative)

Vetting No.2: 11th August 2018, Saturday (Tentative)

• What if I am sick during the audition day and won’t be able to attend? OR I missed the audition registration deadline. What should I do?

We are truly sorry about your situation. Unfortunately, there’s nothing much we can help you with. It will be advisable for you to join us for next year’s recital audition instead.
