Take advantage of this unique opportunity and get behind-the-scenes as we look for exceptional young dancers to join the DanceWorks Chicago family for SEASON 16!

Team DWC looks forward to welcoming you to an in-person audition on stage of our home theater at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts, 1016 North Dearborn.  Directions and parking information can be found HERE.  Please be advised that Lollapalooza is scheduled to take place on the same weekend, so plan accordingly.

WHAT WILL YOU SEE?
The audition will be conducted by DWC Artistic Director Julie Nakagawa. Ballet class with eliminations will be followed by repertoire. DWC representatives will be available to answer questions about what’s happening on stage.
