The Dancing Wheels Company, America’s first, professional, physically integrated dance company, is currently seeking male and female dancers for employment in the 2014-2015 season. Dancing Wheels is a national touring company that works with highly acclaimed choreographers each year. Most recent works include full-length pieces from Donald McKayle, Dianne McIntyre, Nai-Ni Chen, Christopher Fleming, Michael Uthoff, Peter Kalivis, and David Rousseve.
Dance positions offer full 52-week contracts, competitive rates of compensation, and an opportunity to travel throughout the country and abroad (with all expenses paid).The company is auditioning male stand-up and male and female sit-down (wheelchair*) dancers. Stand-up dancers must have a strong background in both ballet and classical modern dance techniques. Sit-down dancers with dance experience are preferred but will accept apprentice level for those with no prior dance experience; must demonstrate athleticism, wheelchair speed and agility.
All applicants should be comfortable with speaking in front of large audiences. Dancing Wheels provides training in these areas.
