Dance troupe Prodijig are holding auditions in Dublin tomorrow for their new stage show, Footstorm.
The winners of Sky TV’s Got to Dance series are making a call out to dancers from Ireland for the new show, which starts a 12-night run in the Olympia Theatre next April.
Registration for the Footstorm auditions are at 10.00am tomorrow morning (December 19) at the Academy on Middle Abbey Street, Dublin.
Potential cast members will be split into groups to learn a simple number in the style of Prodijig and later in the day, dancers will perform the piece with current cast members in smaller groups of three to five. "75 of the world's greatest Irish dancers" will also be in attendance.
Watch a preview of Footstorm here:
Footstorm was created by Prodijig leader and choreographer Alan Kenefick and aims to bring Irish Dance into “a new and exciting era”. Kenefick and all the members of Prodijig - Ciara McGillan, Andy O Reilly, Darren Casey, Dane McKiernan and Christina Havlin – will play leading roles within the new show.
