The University of Georgia's Ballroom Performance Group will be holding auditions for our apprentice group on December 4th, 2007. Who: Any UGA student who loves to dance The Apprentice Group was created by the Ballroom Performance Group to teach UGA students ballroom technique in preperation for the performance group. (It is like a Junior Varsity Team) The Apprentice Group is taught by the BPG's director, Eddie Bonnell, and traditionally meets every Tuesday from 7-9 PM. At the end of the semester. The expectation is that you will be able to come reguarly if you audition.

For the audition-
Attire: audtion formal (no jeans). Think dresses, skirts, button downs with a tie.

Know: The styles being judged are East coast swing, Cha Cha, and Waltz.

We also judge based on performance-ability, so don't forget to smile!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
~We will have an information session Thursday, November 29 at 7:00 PM in Carver Dance Studio (in the Dance Building) We will review the dance moves that you should know and cover group expectations.

Also, related to the Apprentice Auditions for UGA BPG, A group of current apprentices will be meeting (hopefully) on Sunday to work with anyone who feels they need to polish some of their moves up before the auditions next tuesday. We will meet in the Memorial Hall Ballroom at 5pm, dancing until the Sunday Night Dance Lesson at 7 (6:30 if there is a Rueda Lesson) and will continue after the BDC Lesson until about 10 or so. If Memorial Hall is closed, we will be in the Reed Hall Programming Room.
