  Want to be a Dazzler?

     
  If you're interested in becoming a Dallas Tap Dazzler, you should be aware of some of our requirements:
     
    1) New, incoming candidates must be a minimum age of 45 (there is no upper limit!), and you must have tap experience in the form of a high intermediate or advanced level.  This means knowing the basic elements of tap;  e. g., flaps, shuffles, cramp rolls, riffs, kicks, time steps, etc.  Arm, head and body position and facial expression are as important as footwork. 
     
    2) Dazzler candidates attend "Dazzlers-In-Training" rehearsals weekly, which are required unless you are ill or out of town.  The Dazzlers organization is NOT a dance class, but a performing dance company.   Candidates should be prepared to learn and polish two Dazzler routines to "performance level" within three months after being accepted for training.  Teaching tapes are also available so that you may work at home at your own pace.
     
    3) When you join the Dazzlers, you commit to hard work, to rehearse and perform, to maintain an attractive stage appearance, and to support and encourage each other in the growth and success of the group.  In addition, since the Dazzlers' performance schedule is heavy, a strong commitment of time is required.
     
  Hopefully, we have not "scared you off"!   We are always looking for dedicated, fun dancers to join our organization.  Please call our Director, Frances Dempsey, if you're interested in becoming a Dazzler and meet the listed qualifications.   She can be reached at 972-247-3366, and would love to talk with you.
