Are you a huge fan of the Seattle Storm Dance Troupe? Do you have a child between the ages of 5 and 15 who is a fan and just loves to boogie? You’re in luck. The Seattle Storm is hosting auditions for its famous dance troupe next month on April 17, 2016 and your child could have the chance of a lifetime: to dance with the troupe in the Key Arena while supporting the Storm! Not only do members perform at all home games, but they also get to perform in lots of fun special events in Seattle, too.

During the tryout event, there will be a full day of activities. From 11:30 to 12:30 there will be a warm-up, followed by the first round of cuts at 1:30 PM. From 2:00 to 3:00 the kids will learn a dance routine to do in the final rounds. From 3:30 to 4:30 each contestant will have a final shot with the judges. At 5:00, the last round of cuts will be made and the team will be announced. Parents will meet at 5:30 to discuss the specifics of being on the team.

You must register in order to attend the event, but before you do, make sure that you can make every Storm home game! Kids who cannot attend each game will not be able to join the troupe. Check the Storm schedule first to make sure your child’s schedule is free during each home game before you register. You should also be sure that your child can attend each dance troupe practice in order to try out. Practices occur on every Monday and Wednesday evening from 7:15 to 9:15 PM. It is a demanding schedule so kids should decide if it is for them before they try out. An audition form should also be completed prior to the event.

Children who wish to try out do need to bring several items with them to the try-out event. Kids need to bring a headshot for judges to consider. They should also bring a copy of their birth certificates for identification purposes. A bottle of water should be sent with kids, as well as snacks and/or a lunch to eat in between the day’s activities. The signed waiver available at the link should also be taken to the event. Children who arrive without waivers signed by their parents will be unable to attend or even enter the gym. The tryouts will occur at Denali Fitness, located at 3257 16th Ave. W. Suite A, Seattle, WA 98119.
