SDC Auditions
May 6-7, 2013
at Grace Studios 
School of Dance



The Spirit Dance Company is for dancers who want to take their dance training and performance to the next level. SDC dancers must be committed to the 2013-2014 Company - including occasional weekend rehearsals and competitions, slightly higher costume costs, additional cost for competitions, conventions and possible travel costs for years we attend Nationals, and to make the SDC a PRIORITY. Attendance to weekly classes is required! Acceptance into the Company is based on audition or Director approval.





TAP DANCE AND 
HEALTHY MINDS!

It is believed that tap dance began in the 1850's during American Minstrel Shows where clogging, Irish Step dancing, and other rhythmic dance forms fed off each other to create a soft-shoe tap style. Metal taps on shoes became popular in the 1920's, when they appeared on the shoes of Broadway chorus-line dancers. Tap continued to evolve in various ways, the most well-known beingBroadway tap as danced by Fred Astaire, Gower Champion, and Eleanor Powell; andRhythm tap, best represented by the dancing of Jimmy Slyde, Charles 'Honi' Coles, and Gregory Hines. Both forms of tap are taught at the school and at Steps on Broadway. Mind/Body Connection: Tap is excellent cardio exercise and great stimulation for the mind. Transforming a dancer's feet into a musical instrument, tap shoes allow young children to make noise and express their individual rhythms. Tap dance also helps the mind and body understand rhythm and musicality.These skills help develop the mind both inside and outside the dance studio.
