Our most recent audition was held on Sunday, May 18, at 7:15pm at DanceVisions, Cubberly Community Center, 4000 Middlefield Road, L-3, in Palo Alto.

We look for enthusiastic and dedicated dancers with some modern dance background. We welcome experience in other dance forms, too, to add to the diversity of the group. An interest in choreography is optional. Rehearsals take place in the Palo Alto/Mountain View area, and prospective members should be committed to the idea of working in a collective group and contributing different skills to the process of developing shows.

For more information, please send us an email or call 408-379-7494. If you would like to be notified about future audition dates, please join our mailing list.

About the audition process:
High Release auditions are informal and friendly, a bit like taking a class. You may come a few minutes early to begin warming up if you wish. We ask you to fill out a one-page form about your dance background and interests, and then the audition begins with a group warm-up led by a company member. This is truly for the purpose of warming you up and you will not be "judged" on the warm-up. Different company members teach across-the-floor movements and a longer dance phrase, followed by a brief improv. Throughout much of the audition, some company members will dance with you; at times you'll be asked to dance in pairs. The audition concludes with a meeting during which we'll tell you more about High Release and answer any questions you may have.
