Baltimore’s Got Talent needs dancers

Okay, they got it Baltimore…you can sing. 

But only a small amount of  dancers have tried out  (which not only shocked me to hear but also disappointed me).

So next Thursday, Oct. 29th, another audition will be held for dancers at 8:00 p.m. at Baltimore Dance Center.  ALL ages are welcomed and encouraged to audition!

I refuse to believe there aren’t any talented dancers lingering around Baltimore. Come out and represent the art-any style, any age, any group!

Remember you are competing for a $1,000 prize for 18 and over and a $500 prize for 17 and younger. You also may get a chance to meet me!

If you make it past this round clear your schedules for the finale on Nov.21st at 6:00 p.m. at the Senator Theatre .  Tickets are already on sale at  www.missiontix.com.

But first you need to get yourself to the audition next week and show them what you’ve got. 

So you think you can’t dance?  Help them spread the word and tell those dancers that we all know do have talent to audition.

Reserve a spot by contacting Amy Ramlogan amyramlogan@gmail.com.

Baltimore’s Got Talent extends audition and category

Missed the audition for Baltimore’s Got Talent?  Don’t worry you still have a shot!

Since it seems like everyone is coming down with the flu, there will be another day added to the list.   It’s this Saturday, Oct. 17, from 9:00 a.m-12:00 p.m at the Senator.

Not 18 yet?

There was a large response of parents who wanted their children to have a chance- so now, with parental consent, the kids have their time to shine.

“We are also going to extend it to another category for kids under 18 years of age with a $500 cash prize.   Their category will be a talent category – they can do whatever their talent is – sing, dance, magician, poetry etc…” said Amy Ramlogan.

So whether you were sick, are under 18, or just missed the audition, take your medicine and clear your schedules for this Saturday.  Come out and show just how talented you really are.

Update: Pre-register to get a time slot and audition number.   Send an e-mail to bmoresgottalent@gmail.com or contact Brown Entertainment at 443-220-5174.  You will need an audition number to get seen and spots are filling up quick!

Dance registration goes on..and on?

Since when does registration for ANYTHING not have an ending date?  I saw this sign while I was on my way home today and couldn’t help but think that dance is on the decline.

“Dance is the most under-supported of the arts,” said Jayne Bernasconi, artistic director of Air Dance Bernasconi.

However, I still thought it could just be the center.  I personally have danced at this recreation and have never known for it to not cut off registration.  Just like colleges and universities have to turn people away, so do dance institutions.

However, Amy Lindemore, the sole instructor at another recreation dance center in Baltimore renewed my faith in dance.  Their center has a cut-off date.  They also have to turn children away once their classes get full.  After Oct. 1 don’t plan on being able to dance at Colgate.

I wasn’t and still am not completely sure if dance is not on the decline.  It can be expensive to take dance classes, but recreational centers are typically the cheapest places where students can explore the art.  So I was a bit confused when I spotted these three few words in capital letters.

I’m keeping the faith.  However, I hope this sign disappears very soon.  I don’t need to drive by this large billboard reminding me everyday that what I live for could be on the decline.

You already took newspapers away from me America.  At least leave me the chance to dance.
