In all of our performance based classes, some form of audition is conducted to determine who will play which parts. Our goal with casting is to cast students in parts that challenge the student while also not overwhelming the student with a part they are not ready for. In all cases, we give a lot thought and careful consideration in our casting decisions. We also want every student to feel like an important part of their cast. As they say, there are NO small parts! Working as part of an ensemble is just as important a goal as working on a featured or lead role. If you have specific questions, please feel free to ask us about our decisions. Students should always ask for feedback in order to improve.
- Advanced Programs – These are classes that require an audition for participation. Students must audition and be accepted in the program. While all students must be registered in order to participate, for the advanced classes, their acceptance into the program is contingent on the audition.
- Coffee House OR Pancake Benefit – scroll down to see if auditions are in progress for any of our live events.
- Half Year Programs (not Advanced) – All students who are registered will be cast in the show. Auditions are typically held before (or on) the first class date in order to have casting done as soon as possible in the process. Be sure to read the information on this page about the audition process.
- Summer Program Auditions – Registration for the summer programs begin on Jan. 1st. Auditions differ depending on the camp. Check the Summer Website for details. Once a student is registered for the camp, they may also register for an audition. See below.
- Year Long Program – Typically, auditions are held in class. Students will learn how to prepare for those auditions during class. If you find yourself confused, please start by going to the specific page for the class your student is registered for. Usually, you will find information about the auditions for that specific class.

Frozen Auditions
Frozen Kids Auditions Saturday, Aug. 22 from 10 am - 1 pm
This is a musical theatre class designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of performance in a fun and supportive environment.
Students must be registered for the class: Frozen Kids in order to audition. More Information/Register.
Auditions will be held during the first class, Saturday, August 22, 2026 from 10 am – 1 pm. Note: Students stay for entire time as this is a regular class for the Frozen Kids students. If your student will be absent on Aug. 22, please contact us ASAP as we will need to schedule another time for the audition BEFORE Aug. 22.
Requirements:
The good news is… everyone registered for this class is IN. The auditions are to help us determine which parts match best to which students. Students stay for the entire time. They will be taught a song and we’ll do games/activities to help us determine casting of Frozen Kids. They will also be learning a dance.
If your student would like to prepare a song and/or monologue, they may. Just let us know, when they check in, that they plan to audition using a song and/or monologue they’ve prepared. However, students do not have to prepare anything for this audition, if they don’t want to!
If you have concerns about the audition process, please contact us. Not Just Dance offers workshops to help students prepare for auditions.
If they are planning to prepare something for this audition, here’s some guidance on preparing:
- Prepare 32 bars of a song. No accompanist will be provided. We prefer that students do NOT prepare a song from Wicked or Hamilton. Please bring: a backing track (instrumental/karaoke version) of the piece you’ve been using to prepare and a device to play your track (e.g., phone, tablet, speaker). Make sure your device is charged and the track is easily accessible for a smooth audition experience.
- Prepare a 1 minute monologue. Please ensure that your monologue is age appropriate. (No adult themed monologues)
- Appropriate shoes (jazz shoes or sneakers)
- Fill out the Audition Form. Bring it, along with a small photo. (If a resume/headshot is available, please bring that along with the Audition Form).
