An electronic sign-up will be available Sunday, June 1. Instructions for submitting a video audition will be published Sunday, June 1. Submissions will be accepted June 1 through 3 p.m. on June 28. Casting, prayer groups, and the 2026 FYDC Missions Team will be announced Sunday, June 29. Students will have until July 6 to accept or decline their roles. Students who decline after the deadline are subject to tuition charges.
​​
Students will be assigned to an auditioning studio and a warm-up studio. All auditioning students are asked to prepare and leave their bags in the warm-up studio, and enter the audition room warm, prepared and ready to go.
​
All auditioning students must have their costume measurements taken in their warmup studio before leaving the studio. Each audition will consist of welcome/devotion, introductions/prayer, dance/choreography, and acting/performance exercises.
​​
Dancers age 14+ who have not previously been a member of FYDC must also sign up to perform a prepared variation during the audition process. If a student is a returning member of the company and wishes to showcase additional styles (hip hop, Acro, modern, special skills, etc.), those students are encouraged to perform a variation as well. (Students who would like to be considered for a pointe role should plan to perform a pointe variation.) Variations should not exceed 3 minutes in length, and should showcase your best style/skills.​

What to Bring
There will be a $20 audition fee, which will cover registration and class costs. All students must complete and turn in an audition form for the applicable season. New students must provide a headshot and a photo in first arabesque.

What to Wear
All auditioning students should dress as they would for a classical ballet class. Modest coverups should be worn to and from the auditions, and may be worn during the acting/performance portion of the audition.
