We are excited to announce that auditions for the UVU Ballroom Dance Tour Team for 2017-2018 will be held April 22, 2017 from 8 am until noon.  Auditions will be held in PE 154 on UVU’s Orem Campus.  We have some great plans for our summer tour in 2018!  Please be prepared to dance Cha Cha and Waltz.  You will then have the opportunity to learn some latin and standard choreography as part of the audition process.  We will announce the results of the auditions later in May as we will begin rehearsals for the tour team in August.   We’d like to invite graduating seniors and those who will be registering for classes at UVU in the fall to attend these auditions.

Please come dressed to impress and wear appropriate clothing and shoes for the audition.
