Yey! The snow may have stopped the auditions yesterday but we have a new date and time!!!! Sunday 17th (this Sunday) at 9.30am at The Misbourne School, Great Missenden. The auditions will be in the main hall not the dance studio. See you there and fingers crossed for no more snow!!
Yo yo,
Here is the opportunity you don’t want to miss out on: the official dance crew auditions on Sunday 10th January at Misbourne. If you are interested in performing with one of the most successful street dance crews in the UK you need to come and strut your stuff at the audition. We are looking for dedicated, dancers with a raw performance edge who want to have the time of their lives with a strong family unit. If you want to take your dance to the next level, gain unrivalled performance opportunities and become part of a team, then the official dance crew is for you.
Being part of the dance crew entitles you to the following benefits:
· 15% off all Streetwear and DVD’s
· Big discounts on Hip Hop don’t Stop
· Valuable training from top choreographers
· Paid performance opportunities + the chance to perform on huge arena stages such as the 20′000 seat 02 arena
· Personal development, team working skills and choreographic opportunities
The layout of the audition is as follows: you learn a short combination in groups of 15-25 just like in a class. The only people watching you will be a judging panel made up of artistic director Andy and some guest instructors. You will then be selected on how you do but will also be given an opportunity to freestyle if you want it, you will not have to do anything you do not feel comfortable with. If you have any additional skills you will be given the opportunity to show it.
We normally take 27 dancers, we look for potential so if you want to have life changing opportunities and could see yourself performing in front of 20 000 get yourself down to The Misbourne School on the 10h, who knows it could be you!
The Urban Strides Official Dance Crew is regarded as one of the most successful Street Dance Crews in the UK credits have included:
As well as commisioned works by Breakin Convention.

The crew!
Am I elegible:
Here is the story of Cyrus one of the crew members on how he got involved in the crew:
Cyrus during rehearsals at the 02 arena
I had the Urban Dance Explosion CD and DVD that Andy presents and already had a love of street dance and hip hop culture. Then I came to watch Urban Strides at Activate I realised that is what I wanted to do. The power and energy that came off the crew really connected with me, and I knew that I wanted to be a part of that. I enrolled at Aylesbury high school classes and did as well as jamming and practicing in between classes. The classes gave me a huge inspiration. It was the platform of real technique and performance training that I needed.
I was really nervous the day before the audition because I was unsure about whether I was good enough. Then I thought, there is nothing to lose if i dont go. The worst that can happen is I don’t get in, but because I wanted to be part of the crew so much I knew that even if I had to audition 10 times it would be worth it. When I knew I got in I was overwhlmed because it was the culmination of so much hard work. When I first started at the rehearsals I was still nervous but the energy was so positive and everyone was so friendly and lovely. Being in the offical crew was even better than I thought, everyone was so welcoming it felt like I had been adopted by a new family, everyone was so lovely.
The amount of knowledge and experience I have got from the crew has been incredible, dance wise and the knowledgde about hip hop dance culture. Words cannot explain the improvement Urban Strides has made to my dancing. When I first went on tour with the crew it opened my eyes to a whole new world and I realised this is what I want to do for a living. Urban Strides has shown me what I really want and how i can achieve my dream. Don’t worry if you have never been to an audition before. Going along to the audition and being part of the crew was a life changing experience for me, it could be the best decision you ever make. Give it all you’ve got and don’t be scared, there is nothing you can lose.
