Dance Placement Auditions - March 20
Dance placement auditions will take place Tuesday March 20th from 3:45pm-5:00pm in the FHS dance studio. Any upcoming 9th-12th grader who wishes to enroll in dance should attend our dance placement auditions to determine the level of dance to enroll in for the 2018-2019 school year.
Due to the severe weather threat, students will only need to attend Tuesday’s audition. Monday students will be taught the skills to perform on Tuesday. These days are very important for the instructor to determine what level the student would fit best in.
For students who are unable to attend they should see Mr. Kiel in the dance room on Thursday March 22nd either 4th or 5th period to audition at that time.
