Congratulations to Denver Broncos Cheerleader Angela for being selected to the 2018 Pro Bowl Cheerleaders.

It’s that time of the year…audition season and the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders have announced open auditions for their 2018 squad.   No details as of yet, but save the date.

 

ProMotion Dance is a different breed, a dance company that takes a new age approach to dance and cheer auditions, and they may be exactly what you need to promote your dance to the next level. At ProMotion Dance, we believe in the power of movement and dance. We live for those goose bump moments when something bigger than you comes alive on stage.  We are energized by the roar of the crowd.

We want to create those moments again and again. Whether you dream of becoming a dancer for a high school, college, or professional dance team, we believe you have the power to light the dance world on fire.

Just reading this, you are already ahead of many, many people who wouldn’t make this effort to creating an incredible, satisfying life doing what they love.  

We know you live in a digital world, and you don’t always have direct access to the best of the show business in your hometown. That’s why we have taken everything we do in person and transformed it to be able to access online from any place at any moment. Our digital Audition Blueprint is in short designed to help you make the team.

We created this training because we have been there and done that over the last 25 years combined. Through years of trial and error, we have made all of the mistakes, done tons of research, and figured out how to do it RIGHT.   It a was a crazy, giant leap to make from high school to auditioning for a college team and an even bigger leap from college to dancing for pro teams.

We found ourselves tapping into hundreds of different resources to get all of the information we needed from interview training, to makeup & hair, to dance choreography know-how. Sometimes these resources would even be conflicting and incredibly frustrating!

What you can expect from our e-book and digital training are strategies and tangible action items that you can use all throughout your preparation for auditions, no matter where you’re at in the process.

We don’t want you to have to experience these frustrating years in between. Your time here is limited, and we recognize that. You should be able to start living the life you want now. We’ve spent a lot of time and energy cutting the clutter for you so you can get right down to business and make this happen.

If you are serious about making the team, we are happy to personally coach you through the audition process. We can schedule personal training sessions with you, one on one, to learn your strengths and areas of opportunities to really help you shine on that big day! This can be in anything from fitness, dance abilities, to interview skills- we can do it all (and so can you,you just don’t know it yet)!

If you’re already on a team, we love to choreograph for game day, performance routines, and even custom production numbers for coaches and dancers that need inspiration and material for their season.

Stay in touch on social media to see when we offer in person workshops and choreography sessions as well!
