The preliminary round of tryouts will be held based on YOUR online high energy jazz and skills video submissions. Preliminary videos will be reviewed by the RCD coaching staff. Candidates will be chosen from their video submissions to move on to the semifinal round.

Semifinalists will receive an email with an invitation to continue with the tryout process and a link to the required audition material. Semifinalists and Returners will then submit the learned and practiced audition material by the required date.

Returners and those chosen as Finalists will receive another emailed invitation to continue the tryout process and a link to the “add-on” material and technique combos. Finalists and Returners will be required to submit the “new” material in quick turnaround time.
