Charger Girls to Host Two Pre-Audition Workshops

The road to becoming a member of the 2015 Charger Girls begins Sunday, March 8 with a pre-audition workshop from 2-5 pm in the Jenny Craig Pavilion at the University of San Diego. A second workshop will be held on Sunday, March 15, also at Jenny Craig Pavilion. Registration begins at 1:30 pm.

With more than 400 dancers annually auditioning for a spot on the Charger’s official dance team, pre-registration for the workshop is recommended as space is limited. Pre-registration can be done here. The non-refundable fee is $45 for one workshop or $75 to attend both workshops. On-site cash-only registration also will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.

Pre-audition workshops are designed to prepare interested dancers for the auditions process and introduce the style of choreography performed by the Charger Girls. The choreography taught and material presented at each workshop will vary. Material presented will include application tips, style guides, interview prep and more. Attendees will have the opportunity to speak with current Charger Girls, and participate in a Q & A session with Charger Girls Director Lisa Simmons.

“We host a workshop every year to give a better understanding of the entire process,” said Simmons. “We work with them on dance technique and choreography in a supportive, non-competitive environment. This year we added an additional workshop to hopefully help them leave feeling more prepared and confident for the upcoming auditions. We do our best to prepare them for what they can expect in April.”

The Charger Girls perform at all home games and appear in the team’s annual swimsuit calendar. They also serve as ambassadors for the organization at hundreds of business, community and charity events throughout the year.

The Jenny Craig Pavilion is located on the University of San Diego campus at 5998 Alcalá Park.
