Residencies

*AUDITION BASED

Residencies will allow dancers the opportunity to work in an intimate setting with professional tap dancers by giving them the experience of having a piece of work set on them to perform in the showcase.

Residencies will also take place outside of the general event time so students are not missing out on classes they paid for. This means that students will have to commit to additional days or times in order to participate in a residency.

All video auditions must be submitted to @stamplongisland@gmail.com

Video Audition Requirements:

  • State your name, age, years of experience and which residencies you’d like to be considered for

  • 1-2 minute video of choreography showing off technical and musical ability

  • 1 minute video of improvisation to a song of your choosing

 

STAMP SHOWCASE

The STAMP Showcase will consist of a culmination of the faculty as well as the residencies to put on a performance for the rest of the attendees at the festival. The showcase aims to bring different elements of tap dance together and honor individuality. The showcase will be held at a theater rather than at the studios in order to seat more people as well as create a professional environment.

 

ADDITIONAL EVENTS

During the evening, STAMP LI will be hosting a movie night, tap trivia night, tap jams, and a cutting contest that will be available for all students to participate in.
