JZT Dance Company
Jazz Hawks
Company Details
The JZT Dance performance company competes in multiple genres, including jazz, lyrical, contemporary, tap, and hip hop. Those who are accepted to the JZT company will have core requirements, which must be met.
Commitment. We consider acceptance to the JZT Dance HAWKS to be an honor. Your 100% commitment is required. Commitment to being on time and being prepared is imperative. Commitment to rehearsals is a very important part of dancing in the Company as well. We allow for illness, however, missing rehearsals may result in being excluded from certain parts of the dance, and excessive absenteeism will result in dismissal from the Company.
Auditions for 2022 - 2023 Jazz Hawks
Auditions were held in June 2022. If you missed the audition date and would still like to be considered for Company, please call (201) 867-4500 to see if you can still schedule a time for a private audition.
Although we would like to cast everyone who auditions into the Company, it is not possible. All decisions are made by the Company Director with input from the entire staff and are final.
NOTE: If you want or need a private audition, please call the studio at (201) 867-4500 to request.
