APOLLO AUDITIONS 4.3.11




We are not just a dance school but we are a family. We speak life into all of our dancers, teachers, staff and parents. We have a Performance Arts Company that lives, speaks and eat dance. Our director, teachers and staff are dedicated to this art form called "Dance."

Our director wanted our Performance Arts Company to audition for Apollo Amatuer Night Show. Like, always there were no complaints only excitement. One thing that truly sticks out is that our Company members Do Not showcase intimidation. Our Company Members just enjoy dancing and the light was shining on them on Sunday.

Even though it was very early in the morning (5am.) Our blood was pumping because we claimed victory. The audition called for the first 300 acts and we knew that we were making it. We entered five acts and it was an amazing experience.

We are featured online and in print of the NY Daily News (4.5.11)
