THE KILLER DILLER BEES are the Bees' Knees Dance performance and competition troupe. This group will work on original numbers to be performed at community events, as well as learning routines danced by the troupe That Swing! Members of the Killer Diller Bees may have the opportunity to perform with That Swing! in a professional context. Emphasis will be placed both on choreographed group routines and skills for jam circles, Jack and Jill competitions, and strictly competitions. Troupe members will have the opportunity to work on aerials.
~ AUDITION FORMAT ~
The audition is open to anyone. There will be several sections, including sections that test your social dancing as well as your ability to learn and perform choreography. Bees’ Knees Dance instructors will both dance in rotation and observe the auditions. The judging system used in preliminary and semi-final rounds of International competitions will be used to choose troupe members, with only the final troup list being shared publicly. All audition participants will receive feedback from the judges via email.
