Male and female dancers with ballet, jazz, and/or musical theatre experience are encouraged to sign-up through http://www.ninthstreetdance.com/ ($140 for a 14-week session).

A power point presentation describing the overall Lost Vegas story line and production details is provided on the first day of rehearsals and is followed by a jazzy/hip hop dance class and choreography demonstration. A professional videographer and professional photographer are hired to capture the making and filming of each Lost Vegas piece. All dancers who participate in the filming of Lost Vegas receive a copy of the DVD and several pictures of their choice from among the hundreds taken.

Sign-up now at http://www.ninthstreetdance.com/ for the next session which begins on September 14, 2009, ends on December 20, 2009, and films on January 17, 2010.
