PORTLAND, ME (September 1, 2023) — Local non-profit dance company, Vivid Motion, will hold auditions for its annual winter burlesque show:

What: “’Twas The Night Before…Burlesque”

Join us for this year’s hot-hot-HOTTEST winter burlesque show, co-directed by Brigitte Paulus and MJ Emerson. In true innovative and quirky Vivid Motion Dance style, we’ve taken the classic holiday poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas” and turned it into a sizzling and sensual dance performance, complete with a live band onstage. Dancers of all styles, levels, sizes, genders, races, and ethnicities who are at least 18 and not in high school are encouraged to audition!

Auditions are held in a class format: a warm up followed by several combinations at center. Please wear clothes you can move in and have your hair out of your face. Pre-registration is necessary and is now open at vividmotion.org/auditions. Registration closes at 9:00am on Saturday, September 9th.

Rehearsals will be Saturdays & Sundays, September 16 – December 7 from 9:30am-2:30pm at Scarborough Dance Center. (NO rehearsals Thanksgiving weekend.) Time spent in rehearsals is dependent on casting. Performances: Dec 8-10 & Dec 13-16, 2023 at The Hill Arts (formerly St Lawrence Arts) at 7:30pm.
