If any of you are interested, see the details below:

When: Friday 8th, 2011
Time: 16.00-18.00 PM
Where: Emirates Grand Hotel, Sheikh Zayed Road

We are looking for people who have potential and determination. During the audition, we will give you a short piece of choreography to execute within a short period of time, after which we will determine who we would like to consider to join our team.
We are not looking for perfection but people who are committed to the movement and the steps, who understand the music and who are dancing the choreography rather than just doing it.

If any of you are interested, join us at Emirates Grand Hotel. Please be there 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the auditions.
