Performance Crew

Dancers that register and audition will have a unique opportunity to be selected for the very first New Wave Performance Crew!

The audition aspect will take place at the end of each age division as to not take away from the convention experience for dancers that are not interested in auditioning. Those dancers that stay on for audition will be dancing for their chance to be selected to be part of a performance team led by Julian, Josh, and Bella! We will be selecting a Junior and Senior age division crew who will have the opportunity to learn, rehearse, and perform a specially choreographed routine at 2 high profile NYC area performance venues in 2019! This is your chance to work directly with Julian and his creative team and perform with other highly talented dancers at 2 amazing events!
