Auditions
Youth Dance Auditions – Performance Teams – High School Dance Company
Principal Creative & Performing Arts is forming their youth performance teams for the 2025-2026 season. Teams start as young as 5 years of age. All youth dancers interested in an accelerated dance program are welcome to audition regardless of level.
Dancers that are currently in or will be entering high school may audition for Principal Youth Dance Company. PYDC is our new dance company specifically designed for busy high school age dancers. We want to provide hard hitting training and multiple performance and competitive opportunities while still giving you flexibility to participate in everything that make your high school years special. Auditions will be two nights – 5/15 & 5/22 @ 7:30pm. Must attend both night. If you cannot, please let us know so we can accommodate you elsewhere.
GIRLFLY SUMMER ART & ACTIVISM PROGRAM
The 19th-annual GIRLFLY curriculum poses the question, “Who owns the corner?” We will bring students examples where community voices have manifested or are working to manifest real ownership on the city’s streets. We will look at models by The Women’s Building in the Mission, the APICC/KULARTS Performing Arts Space South of Market, and 111 Taylor Street in the Tenderloin, as well as Space 124. Students will explore the theme through apparatus-based dance, site specific performance, and an activist module led by visual artist Adrian Arias.
– Applicants must be between the ages of 14-21 and must be women or Gender Non-Conforming Youths
– Applicants will earn $550 for participating

Rolling Audition
In January 2020 we auditioned a strong ensemble that had several performance opportunities to workshop the multi-part piece Water in the Kettle. The pandemic upended both the ensemble and the opportunities, but we have regrouped and are plowing ahead with the creation. Rehearsals are in Oakland near MacArthur Bart. Necessitating an unusual skillset, at this point the goal is skill building rather than project-based, though we are always working toward live and film performance.
MoToR/dance creates powerful interlocking percussive dance arrangements with layered vocal harmonies and large group choreography, in a moving choir. Creating emotionally in-depth works, MoToR/dance is singular in its integration of systems, pushing the envelope in Body Music and Contemporary Dance. MoToR/dance pieces reunite African diaspora polyrhythms with Appalachian/American traditional song; conflating the cultural miscegenation of white, black and brown in foundational American music/dance with the reality of its painful origin. Works are created for live performance and film.
See the website for samples of the dance films and style.
