The BACK UP Dancers

THE BACK UP DANCERS talent search is organized by the UP Sirkulo ng mga Kabataang Artista (UP SIKAT) in celebration of the organization's seven years of shining talent. An empowering perspective indeed, UP SIKAT believes that anyone can shine and be a star, even back up dancers! Kaya handa ka na bang mangabog... as a back up dancer? This time, the stage is all yours!

MECHANICS

• Bona fide students of UP Diliman are encouraged to apply and join the BACK UP DANCERS talent search. Students from other colleges (outside UP Diliman) may also qualify (please coordinate with the UP SIKAT Externals Committee for more information).

• The participants will undergo training in a span of three weeks.

• Participants will be immersed in a three-week training program, with regular dance workshops.

• The dance facilitators are in charge with the choreography and training. Each participant are expected to master the choreography given a short period of time and prepare for the auditions. The facilitators/choreographers will select the specific songs or dances for the duration of the workshops. The participants, however, will get to choose their own music for the dances they will choreograph on their own.

• The Grand Showdown will be held during the UP SIKAT Anniversary Night, August 2010. The participants will perform a mash-up of songs and will get to show their dance and movement skills. A panel of SIKAT alumni will be judging the showdown a la So You Think SIKAT's Got Talent.

• Each participant will receive a certificate of participation, and special awards will be given during the UP SIKAT Awards Night.

AUDITIONS:

Part 1 - Taught choreography (workshop)
Part 2 - Own choreography
