What to put on a video?
The video should be 3-6 minutes in length, and include an introduction of yourself, prior to performing all elements - jumps, spins,
footwork and combinations. It should also include recent exhibition numbers showing personality and performance skills. We want to
see you shine!
What to put on a 'skating resume/CV'?
Skating resume/ CV should include all skating accomplishments as well as full name, address, phone, fax, email, height, weight, date of
birth, and if you have a passport.
What should I wear in the video and pictures?
Please wear appropriate skating attire in the video. Not loose or baggy clothing. Clothes should properly allow you to perform all elements
well as well as show style. The full length photo does not have to be in skating attire, however we do ask that this picture not be in
loose or baggy clothing, long skirts or formal gowns.
What Jumps do I need to do?
We do not require specific freestyle elements. On the video please show the highest level of jumps that you do consistently. If you do not
jump please indicate this in your resume. We audition many skaters with varied skating backgrounds whether it may be freestyle, pair, ice dance,
acrobatic or comedic.
Do you have to be a specific height and weight?
No. Although in casting we may be filling a position that requires a certain height. As far as weight we look for a healthy, fit look and
judge appearance on an individual basis based on 'look'.
How
many openings do you have?
This depends on our turnover. We currently employ over 450 skater in 8
productions worldwide.
Do you hold personal auditions?
Should a personal audition be required we contact the skaters after receiving their portfolios and set up an audition when we performing in their area. As always
we welcome portfolios to be set to us anytime throughout the year. However, the optimum timing would be to send a portfolio to us 6 weeks
prior to one of our shows performing in their area. That way, if a personal audition is required, we would have enough to time make the
arrangements
