Who will be next in the long list of successful dancers introduced through The Monsters Show?
In year six of The Monsters Show, the selection process was as difficult as ever. The faculty deliberated for almost five hours, with the last spot taking up almost an hour of the discussion. The end result is one of the most talented and experienced casts we’ve ever seen! Witnessing some of the industry’s most successful dancers being launched through The Monsters Show has prompted several seasoned dancers to attend Monsters for this incredible opportunity. One 2010 cast member who has worked extensively said it was the opportunity for "growth" that other jobs don’t provide that attracted them to audition for The Monsters Show.
The Monsters Show provides dancers two weeks of intense training with the world’s top choreographers and the opportunity to perform for sold out audiences including agents, casting directors and artists. Show alumni have gone on to work with artists like Michael and Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Usher and many more. They have also appeared in countless film and television productions. Being selected as a Monsters Show Cast member has become one of the most coveted acknowledgements for dancers.
For those dancers who have not been selected, please know that even becoming a Monsters Show finalist is a tremendous honor as you were selected out of thousands of others. We encourage you to use this life experience as motivation and see it as an opportunity to grow and become a stronger person and dancer.
