Looking for a mix technical dancers (with ballet, contemporary, modern and jazz dancers) are being selected to begin immediate ensemble work and intensive summer preparation. The work was commissioned by the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art with featured artistic direction from world renowned mezzo-soprano Denyce Graves. Featured choreographers include Ray Mercer (Lion King), Oscar Hawkins (Kirov Ballet & Cirque du Soleil) and Alvaro Maldonado (Ballet Teatro Internacional). Several dancers will be hired as summer dance assistants.
