AUDITION for PALANTE SALSA EN RUEDA DANCE TROUPE              Back to Top
The Palante Salsa en Rueda Dance Troupe is looking for energetic individuals with a passion for Latin music and dance to join our dance group. Pa'lante dance is inspired in classical Afro-Latin "street style" Salsa and emphasizes rhythm, timing, music flow and lead-follow connection. We teach and learn Salsa in Casino style, a dynamic form of Salsa which brings out the true collective and expressive essence of Latin culture.  New troupe members will learn Salsa, Rueda de Casino and other Latin social dances as part of a dedicated and uplifting community of dancers.  Troupe members will become excellent social dancers and will enjoy opportunities to perform in dance demonstrations and choreographical arrangements at various venues at Cornell and in the Ithaca area.  We welcome dancers of all levels to our audition. More so than a refined set of dance skills, we are looking for new troupe members who possess a strong sense of commitment and a lot of heart. It's not about where you are currently at; it's about where you want to go and arriving there as part of a collective. At our auditions, we will introduce our group, what we are about, and how we make it a success. You will participate in a fun workshop in which you learn some open-step and partnered routines. We can't wait to check out your moves! Hope to see you Saturday.
