Thread: MidNight Tribe (Chicago) is pleased to announce auditions for a new troupe member!

Hi there!

MidNight Tribe is Growing! ..g.:

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING VERY CAREFULLY. If you do not meet the following requirements, please reconsider auditioning.

Requirements:

• Dancer should have an intermediate/advanced education in Egyptian/Cabaret style belly dancing. Folkloric dancing is a plus but not necessary. Competent use of zills will be necessary.

• Dancer should have an advanced Tribal/Tribal fusion education. We are not an ATS troupe, but use most movements from the slow/fast ATS vocabulary, as well as many currently popular tribal fusion movements.

• Dancer should be healthy, physically fit, and will be required to be able to make quick level changes, endure extended periods of dancing on the knees, and some floorwork.

• Dancer will be REQUIRED to perform with some sort of fire implement (fans, staff, poi and/or hoop). It is not necessary to already know how to dance with fire, we can and will train you. Dancer will be required to sign a waiver of liability, so you should have medical insurance.

• Dancer should have reliable transportation and optimally live on the Northwest side of Chicago and/or surrounding suburbs. Rehearsals are held in the Palatine area 1 to 2 times per week (Thursday nights and some Sundays), barring any severely inclement weather.

• Dancer is expected to show a high level of professionalism, troupe commitment and a commitment to further their own dance education.

• Dancer is expected to purchase their own troupe-related costume pieces, sew portions of their own costumes and help out regarding costume acquisition and assembly where and when necessary.

• Dancer will be required to sign a troupe charter.

If you said “yes” to all of the requirements and would like to audition, please email us privately at info@midnighttribe.com with a resumé/CV of your dance background, education and performances. Please include a cover letter telling us a little about yourself and what you'd expect from joining our troupe. If after reviewing your information we think you may be a good fit, we will email you with detailed information about the audition process, date, time and location.

Thanks!

Kira, Director
