Audition Process:
The audition process consists of technique drills (turns, high kicks, jumps) and a short jazz & hip hop combination. After learning all elements, candidates will perform both drills and the combination in pairs for a panel of judges. In addition, there will be a brief interview with each candidate during their final audition performance with the judges. Tumbling is optional.

Candidates must bring the following items to auditions:

– 5’ X 7’ photo (will not be returned)
– Complete registration form and waiver (will have day of the audition)
– Dance/performance resume (include business experience and education)
– Wear form fitting cropped/half top, fitted shorts/dance briefs, and comfortable dance/athletic shoes (tights optional). Hair should be down and hair and make-up should be performance ready.

Audition Requirements:
Potential candidates must be a high school graduate and at least 18 years old at the time of audition (there is no maximum age). They should possess dance/cheer experience as the routines will consist of turns, kicks, jumps, etc to highlight dance technique and training. The Boston Cannons are looking for a dynamic group of dancers, able to provide an exciting, high-energy combination of entertainment and crowd encouraging routines. Candidates will be judged on their technique, showmanship, enthusiasm, dedication, personal appearance and fitness.
