Dramini Welcome Packet & Upcoming Auditions

Dear Dramini Families,

We are so excited to officially welcome you to our Dramini season! We have an amazing group of young performers, and we had an amazing first week! We played getting to know you games, ice-breakers and started to work on our audition dance! Tomorrow we will complete the audition dance and begin scoring our performers on their learning and theatricality! All students should please wear all black athletic clothing. 

Attached to this email, you will find the Dramini Welcome Packet, which includes important information for the season such as:

  • Audition details

  • The season calendar

  • Show schedule

  • And much more!

Please take a moment to review the packet carefully, as it will answer many common questions as we move into auditions and casting.

A few important reminders for this week:

  • The studio is OPEN tomorrow, 2/16.
    We will be completing dance auditions during class.
    If your student will be absent, they will be able to receive a dance audition score next week. We motivate them to practice on the student portal this coming week. Details for access will be sent out this week! Our student portal now has new parent features as well and we are excited for you to experience them!

  • Casting auditions will take place next Monday, the 23rd, during normal class time (4:30–6:00 PM).
    Students will be pulled individually by instructors to complete their audition, which includes:

    • A brief monologue

    • Approximately 60 seconds of singing

    Please note: Students need to prepare their monologue AND song by viewing the details that can be found in the Welcome Packet.

Thank you for being part of our Dramini family! We are looking forward to a joyful, confidence-building season with your children. Please reach out if you have any questions after reviewing the packet.
