Casting Notice
Atlas Media Corp, a leading producer of nonfiction television programming, is currently casting an exciting new documentary/reality series about up-and-coming dancers who train at Broadway Dance Center, as well as the instructors who teach them. Open casting calls will be held on Monday, August 31, from 1pm-8pm and on Tuesday, September 1, from 10AM-5PM.
Casting is at Broadway Dance Center (322 W. 45th St., 3rd floor)
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We are seeking both students AND instructors of Broadway Dance Center.
We are NOT looking to cast people who take classes just for their personal fulfillment (no beginners). We are only casting people who aspire to dance professionally and can prove they have made dancing their number one priority! You must be actively seeking out a career in dance/performance. You must be trained, at the top of your game, and believe yourself to be New York City’s next breakout dancer!
We are NOT seeking dancers who perform in pairs or groups (ballroom dancers, for example). We are seeking solo dancers (ballet, hip-hop, etc). We don’t have a specific “type” of “look” we’re hoping to cast, so come as you are!
You must be 18 or older to audition; no exceptions!!
THE CASTING CALL
Monday, August 31st, from 1pm-8pm and on Tuesday, September 1st, from 10AM-5PM. You can arrive at any time within that time frame, but auditions will occur on a first-come, first-serve basis and at the producers’ discretion. Please bring a headshot, resume, and a completed application.
Please note that you will not be dancing for us at the time; no dance attire necessary.
There will be no overnight camping allowed inside or outside of Broadway Dance Center. Please do not arrive any earlier than the dates instructed.
When you arrive at the venue on one of the casting days, you MUST have two forms of ID that show proof of your age and a photograph (for example, a birth certificate and driver's license or a birth certificate and a passport or a birth certificate and a school ID card). If your birth certificate was not issued in the United States, you should bring proof of your citizenship and/or permanent U.S. residency. After showing proper ID, you will be given a registration number and an audition time slot. Numbers and times are handed out on a first-come, first-serve basis.
When your number is called, you’ll meet with our casting team for a brief interview. Again, you will NOT be dancing for us. Each audition may be different and are at the Producer’s discretion. The current plan is that those who make it through the casting call will be asked to return a few days later for on-camera interviews.
FAQ
Do I need to show up on both casting days?
No. You only need to show up on one casting day.
Can I pick up a number for someone else on casting day?
No. We’ll be taking down your name with each registration number, so numbers/time slots are not transferable.
Will everyone have the opportunity to audition on the audition day?
This will depend on how many people show up for the auditions. Although we would love to audition everyone who shows up, it may be impossible given time constraints built into our schedule. There is no guarantee that everyone will be given the opportunity to audition. If our time is running short, the Producer may walk around the venue to pick out people to audition (regardless of how early they came) based on performing ability, look, style, personality and other factors, at Producer’s sole discretion.
Are auditions by appointment or is it "cattle call" style?
Auditions for the first round are not by appointment. Again, numbers are handed out on a first-come, first-serve basis. You’ll receive a number and a time slot when you register.
If I have a manager for anything entertainment-related or a contract for my performing services, can I still audition?
If you advance to the next round(s) of the audition, you MUST be able to demonstrate to the Producer’s satisfaction that you are not bound by any arrangement, written or oral, that would conflict with the show in any way. Final decisions about this will be at the producer’s sole discretion.
On which television network will this air?
The network has not been announced yet and will not be announced during the audition process. The show will be produced by Atlas Media Corp (www.atlasmediacorp.com). Atlas creates award-winning productions that have become staple programming for U.S. networks such as A&E, National Geographic Channel, The History Channel, Discovery Channel, TLC, Food Network, WE: Women’s Entertainment, Travel Channel, The Disney Channel, and USA Networks. Please, no phone calls.

Remembering Ernest "Brownie" Brown
At BDC, we're taking the time to remember the wonderful talent and personality of Ernest "Brownie" Brown (April 25, 1916- August 21, 2009). Brownie was part of the tap dance duo Cook and Brown, along with Charles "Cookie" Cook. The two were celebrated entertainers and loved by their audiences.
Click below for the Chicago Tribune's story on Ernest "Brownie" Brown
Here are some great videos we found that celebrate Brownie and his artistry:
