Day 1: Audition Interest Meeting and Clinic

If you are auditioning for the team, the clinic cost will cover your audition fee. During the clinic you will learn more about the Baylor Dance Company, meet team members and officers, and learn the jazz audition combination that will be performed at auditions on Day 2.
