The Memphis Grizzlies will hold first round auditions for the 2019-20 Grizz
Girls dance team on Saturday, June 22 at FedExForum with registration beginning
in the Grand Lobby at 9 a.m.
In addition, the Grizzlies are offering two pre-audition clinics to give all
hopeful candidates the chance to learn the routine that will be used at the
final audition. The pre-audition clinics will be taught by Grizz Girls
choreographer Terran Gary, and will be held at 6:30 p.m. on June 13 and June 20
at New Ballet Ensemble (2157 York Ave.). Clinics will also offer candidates
advice on what to wear, how to make the final cut and opportunities to hear from
professional dancers. The cost is $35 for one session or $60 for both, and
dancers can pre-register for the clinics online at
grizzlies.com/grizz-girls/audition.
While participation in the pre-audition clinics is strongly encouraged, it is
not mandatory for the audition. Once first round auditions are complete, the
group of finalists will compete for a spot on the 2019-2020 Grizz Girls team at
the Final Auditions showcase to be announced at a later date. The Final
Auditions will be free and open to the general public to attend. Fans will also
be able to tune in to the live stream of the Grizz Girls Final Auditions on
Grizzlies.com. The 2019-20 Grizz Girls will perform at FedExForum for all
Memphis Grizzlies home games during the 2019-20 season and will represent the
team at events locally, regionally and internationally.
Currently, Gary also hosts Girl Play Prep Classes to teach participants basic
dance and performance techniques alongside current Grizz Girls. Classes are held
weekly on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. at Hattiloo Theatre (37 Cooper Street). The
cost is $10 per class.
Dancers of all skill levels are invited to take part in the classes,
pre-audition clinics and audition. To learn more about pre-audition clinics and
classes visit grizzlies.com/grizz-girls/audition. Prospective dancers must be a
high school graduate and at least 18 years of age to participate in the Grizz
