AUDITIONS.Welcome to Dance Magazine's fifth annual Special Section on Auditions. On page 108, columnist Dr. Linda Hamilton offers would-be auditioners tips on how to prepare, physically and psychologically, for the audition process. On page 104, Darrah Carr's story on talent-search Web sites offers an alternative to traditional auditioning. And, as always, we offer an extensive list of professional companies auditioning dancers for professional employment. Under the Employment section, companies are listed alphabetically by name in the U.S., then in other countries. Additional categories--Education, Training, Summer Study and Other--are listed alphabetically within each state. Listings provide general company information (as it was available at press time), including styles of dance performed, number of dancers in the company, number of performances per year, and types of available insurance and other benefits. They also include audition dates, times and locations, what dancers should bring and company contact information. We recommend that dancers contact the company directly to confirm audition dates, times and locations. Companies have been known to choose dancers from their apprentice and summer programs, or their affiliated schools, so go see and be seen! Best of luck to everyone.
