3rd Shift Dance Season 7 Company Auditions

Season 6 has been another wonderful year for the Shift. One that boasted live collaborative performances with musicans The Bad Tenants, Naomi Wachira, and Whitney Mongé, back up dancing for Fly Moon Royalty and Mike Illvester, music videos with Vespera and Whitney Mongé, getting Gooed with photographer Meagan Hall of Blue Cone Studios, became community partners with the Lupus Foundation of America, performing on stage across the Pacific Northwest and Los Angeles. Additionally, through our Battle for the Dance Belt and Sessions Sessions series, we've presented the work of dozens of choreographers, performed by hundreds of dancers. In Season 7, we keep pushing to increase our impact on the local and national dance communities while pursuing opportunities and partnership that feed our dancers souls, minds, and bodies. Join us.
