PLEASE PREPARE

Students will need to prepare the cut of “Tomorrow” that they will be performing for auditions, and look over the audition lines (no need to be memorized!). We will be going over the dance audition step by step, but if students have time to become familiar with the steps, it makes the learning process easier. All material is given to you when you sign up to audition for Annie Jr.!
