As we approach the conclusion of our 6th Monsters tour, weâ€^TMve reached an extremely exciting and somewhat bittersweet time…The Monsters Show selections!  

It is always an unbelievably challenging process for the faculty as there are so many talented dancers and so few spots.  In addition, the â€oekids” as they call them, all have a special place in their hearts and while the joy of telling someone theyâ€^TMve been selected for the cast is incredibly rewarding, the sadness of having to leave people out is equally difficult.  

For those dancers who have not been selected, please know that to make it this far means that you have a special gift. We encourage you to use this life experience as motivation and an opportunity to rise above this bump in the road.  The road to becoming a professional dancer is not an easy one and how you respond to rejection reveals a lot about your character and determination to succeed.  

It is with tremendous pride and enthusiasm that we introduce you to our 5th Monsters Show Cast:
Leon Blackwood, Toronto,                                                 Candace Brown, Riverside, CA                 Ian Eastwood, Oak Park, IL                       Miki Emura, Tokyo, Japan             Audrey Gibson, Boulder, CO                 Hannah Gossett, Youngstown, OH                 Katie Leone, Geneva, IL                      Michael Martinez, Ridgewood, NY                  Christian Owens, New York, NY                 Tatiana Parker, Toronto, Canada             Dionna Pridgeon, Chicago, IL                 Elysandra Quinones, Grayson, GA                Jesus Sanchez, Goleta, CA             Sohei Sugihara, Tokyo, Japan                 Hefa Tuita, Spanish Fork, UT               Maria Wada, Tokyo, Japan
