JOIN MY WORLD VAUDEZILLA LIVE ARTIST AUDITIONS
Extraordinary artists. Beautiful rooms. Paid work.
Vaudezilla creates immersive live entertainment for corporate celebrations, luxury hospitality, private events, brand experiences, and original theatrical productions.
Sometimes we need one remarkable performer. Sometimes we need an entire cast capable of transforming a room.
We’re looking for artists with exceptional skills, unmistakable presence, and the professionalism to deliver both.
NOW CASTING: PROFESSIONAL DANCERS
Fall 2026 Dance Auditions
Sunday, October 25 & Sunday, November 1, 2026
Chicago, Illinois | Audition times and location provided to selected applicants.
Vaudezilla is expanding its professional dance roster for upcoming holiday productions, corporate galas, immersive experiences, and multi-performance engagements.
We’re looking for dancers with serious technique, strong musicality, exceptional stage presence, and the ability to work as part of a polished ensemble.
The dancers we want to meet
We’re particularly interested in professional performers with backgrounds in:
- Jazz, musical theatre, and Broadway-style dance
- Commercial, contemporary, and character-driven choreography
- Cabaret, showgirl, Fosse-inspired, and vintage theatrical movement
- High-energy ensemble performance, precision movement, kicks, and specialty dance skills
- Immersive entertainment and interactive performance
Technical skill matters. So do character, timing, adaptability, and the ability to make choreography feel alive.
We want performers who know the choreography and know what to do when the room changes.
These auditions are for experienced, performance-ready dancers. They are not beginner classes or introductory dance workshops.
How auditions work
STEP 1 | Show us your work
Submit your professional dance reel or 1–2 recent performance videos through the form below.
At least one sample should clearly show your full-body dancing, with enough continuous footage to evaluate technique, musicality, and performance quality.
STEP 2 | In-person auditions
Selected dancers will be invited to audition on October 25 or November 1.
We will evaluate technique, learning speed, performance presence, versatility, and ensemble awareness.
Our Raise the Room choreography will serve as a creative reference for the level and style of work we’re developing. Invited dancers will receive any specific preparation instructions in advance.
STEP 3 | Rehearsal and development
Selected performers may be invited into an ongoing rehearsal and performance-development process, building repertoire that can be adapted for multiple productions.
STEP 4 | Professional engagements
As projects are confirmed, performers will be considered for paid bookings based on artistic fit, availability, production requirements, and demonstrated readiness.
Auditioning does not guarantee a contract or placement.

Use the submission form below.
In your written response, begin with DANCE AUDITION and tell us whether you’re available October 25, November 1, or both.

Vaudezilla’s productions are worlds, not simply collections of acts.
The Velvet Key Social Club
Elegant hospitality, theatrical movement, music, and charismatic roaming performers.

More Than Dancers
We are always interested in extraordinary artists working beyond traditional dance.
Cabaret and burlesque performers, immersive actors, hosts, magicians, mentalists, specialty performers, musicians, singers, circus artists, live illustrators, and multidisciplinary artists are welcome to introduce themselves year-round.
You don’t need to fit into one of our categories.
You do need to show us what makes your work distinctive.
What Matters Here
Excellent Work
Professional-level technique, preparation, originality, and the ability to deliver consistently.
Audience Intelligence
An understanding that the audience, environment, and occasion matter as much as the performance itself.
Professional Temperament
Clear communication, punctuality, preparation, adaptability, and respect for collaborators.
Creative Contribution
Artists who bring ideas, make intelligent choices, and elevate the work around them.
Your art can be complicated. Working with you shouldn’t be.
What You Can Expect From Us
Professional production direction, clear roles and expectations, established performance fees, paid required rehearsals, and opportunities for repeat work when the fit is right.
We don’t pay in exposure. We already have lights.
