FACES OF DECA
We created FACES OF DECA in 2020 to give dancers a chance to learn more about getting their face out there in the dance industry! We staff an expert faculty who is passionate about sharing these industry essentials:
- How to showcase chemistry and connection with new dancers when auditioning for a casting director
- Choreography retention, spatial awareness and the importance of holding a formation during the casting process
- Musicality and improvisation techniques for when casting directors ask dancers to improv
- How to prepare professional materials for virtual submissions
We know how many opportunities there are for dancers to audition for intensives, summer programs and even internships and they all require professional media as part of the submission process. Each FACES OF DECA attendee walks away with a professional headshot that they learn how to pose and dress for as well as professionally edited footage of their improv that can be used for future audition reels.
The dance industry is huge! AND intimate! And WONDERFUL. We are all very connected - everyone knows someone who knows someone we know. This industry has been built on dancers helping dancers for generations. Learning how to connect with other artists is crucial to building a network of support and our built in icebreakers and group activities throughout the day are fun ways for these dancers to practice that.
