EDMONTON: The Ukrainian Shumka Dancers, which function as a professional dance company, are holding auditions; doors open at 11:30 a.m. and auditions begin at 12:30 p.m. Shumka Studios are located near St. Albert and Yellowhead Trails at 12245 131st St., North West Entrance, Edmonton. Shumka is looking for experienced female and male dancers to perform in Ukrainian regional dance repertoire, in the continuing touring production of "Cinderella" and in new contemporary work in Shumka's dance theater style. Shumka dancers also participate in world-class projects developed with other theatrical producers. Auditions are open to the full dance community. Serious dancers who may not have Ukrainian dance experience but have high-calibre training in ballet/jazz dance technique, acrobatics, or stage experience in another style of heritage dance will be given every consideration at these auditions. The audition will consist of a ballet class, Ukrainian regional dance step combinations, character improvisation and an opportunity for dancers to demonstrate any solo they may wish to show. Dancers must be 16 years of age or in Grade 10 in September 2005 to audition. For more information, please contact Dave Ganert at (780) 455-9559 or at [email protected].
