CASTING CALL

CASTING CALL
Auditions For MTV’s (Pilot) Studio Based Dance Show: “Dance Or Drop”

NON UNION 

 

Classic Entertainment Group is holding auditions for an official green lit pilot for a hybrid dance show for MTV.

This show is set to be shot from MTV’s Times Square Studios as a daily live show.

 

We are searching for our KEY / CORE Cast of dancers who will star in the pilot – with the chance to star in the actual series.

**These are PAID – Contracted Positions**

 

This is NOT a “dance contest” in the traditional sense. 

 

We are looking for stand out personalities that also LOVE to dance! 

** If you are not in love with dancing – DO NOT SUBMIT YOURSELF FOR THIS SHOW **

 

At the same time – we are NOT looking for “full time – professional dancers” – if “jazz hands” are part of your dance abilities – we are not interested.

You WILL be asked to solo freestyle (whatever your “style” is ) in addition to dancing with a group of dancers (as you would in a club atmosphere).

Students who consider themselves to be great dancers are perfect for this casting.

 

You are:

Easily the most popular person in your group of friends.

Easily a standout in any crowd of people your age.

Fashionable without being a victim. Aware of current style trends and follow them.

Always on the guest list.

Familiar with all current music and dance styles.

Able to make people like you – no matter who they are – quickly.

 

Criteria:

1. Appear to be between the ages of 18 – 21.

2. Absolutely available for a June 19th rehearsal and a June 20th taping of this pilot. 

3. Plan on being in the greater NYC area on a daily basis – starting the end of the summer into the autumn months – possibly on an indefinite basis.

4. Be able to attend one general casting – and one final elimination group casting – all within the first two weeks of June – in Manhattan.

 

Auditions will start the last week of May (exact dates will be emailed to those who respond).

 

To be considered for an audition, please follow these directions:

 

Email us at: DanceOrDropAudition@gmail.com

Then Send:

 

1. A clear JPEG photograph.

2. Your Full name.

3. Your email address.

4. Your cell # and a back up # for us to reach you right away.

 

You will be contacted with an audition date / location.

E!: Denise Richards: It’s Complicated (Premiere) on Monday at 10pm

MTV renewed Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew for a second season starting June 19 at 10p. Series regulars from the first season return such as host Mario Lopez, backstage correspondent Layla Kayleigh and the panel of judges including JC Chasez, Lil Mama and Shane Sparks.

This year’s American Idol finale not only excelled in eyeballs this year – 32 million viewers, up 3% from last year ­- but winner David Cook was able to parlay his win into a sales coup on the iTunes platform. He had the top 4 selling songs as of last night. Also a record 97.5 million viewer votes were cast.

Here are some important specs just released from AT&T for those waiting for the 3G iPhone. The 3G network, ready now in 275 markets and in 350 markets by year end, will be capable of speeds of up to 1.4 Mbps down and 800 Kbps upstream. Agreements with other carriers will also allow AT&T to offer 3G roaming in 60 countries.

Activision unveiled Guitar Hero Word Tour adding drums, bass and vocals to the mix. The new version of the smash game allows competing teams of 4 to play each other using tracks from bands such as Linkin Park and Van Halen or by uploading their own music via the Wii, PS2, PS3 or Xbox 360 console.
