For the final round of auditions, candidates will perform a choreographed dance routine that integrates styles most often used on gameday. Finalists will receive a link to the choreography and music.

When is the virtual audition deadline?

You must submit an online application, upload a headshot, sign the waiver and submit your open audition video by May 21, 2021 at 5 p.m. PT.

How should I shoot my audition video?

We recommend you shoot your video horizontally to ensure a wide enough frame so we can see your whole performance! Make sure to shoot the video in a space with good lighting where you have enough room to showcase all of your skill.

How do I play music during my audition video?

We recommend you use a secondary device to play audition music loudly while you record your video using your phone.

How do I submit my video?

We will accept links to audition videos four ways: Vimeo, YouTube, Dropbox and iCloud. Note: Your audition video should be set to private on your chosen platform, there will be a space on the application to provide your password so we can view your video. Videos should be recorded in a 16:9 horizontal position.

Do I have to have prior professional dance experience to audition?

No.

What is the attire for Open and Semi-Final Auditions?

Wear whatever dance attire you feel comfortable in!

What is the attire for Final Auditions?

Wear current Seahawks colors in attire you feel comfortable dancing in. Seahawks logos are ok, but please cover any other branded logos.

If we make it to Finals, in addition to the choreography sent to us, I see we need to perform a solo routine. How long does this solo need to be?

Solos should be between 45 seconds and one minute long. At one minute, the music will be cut because we need to allow enough time for all dancers to perform.

Can we choose any music for our solo?

Yes, please choose your own music-clean versions only! We will give you instructions on how to upload your solo music if you make it to the final round of auditions.

What do I need to wear for my solo routine?

You are welcome to wear the same Seahawks colored dance attire you will be doing the other routine in, or feel free to wear whatever outfit you feel compliments your solo! For example, if you are doing a salsa dancing routine, you may choose to wear a red dress. This is your chance to catch the judges eye and we can't wait to see your personality shine!

How many members will be selected for the 2021 squad?

We are looking to take as many as 28 members.

ORIENTATION & FIRST REHEARSAL
