My daughter went to the last equity dance call in Febraury. I just asked her about it to get some details. She said at that call there were only about 30 equity people (she is equity) and many more non-equity people. The equity girls (the call was only girls that day) were taken first. They took them in groups of 10 or 15 (D couldn’t remember, but she was in the second group so knows there was more than one group). They learned a combination which she said was African/modern, lots of floor work and lots of sustained movements. She thought it was fairly difficult compared to some other dance calls she has attended, but not very difficult for a well trained dancer. She said they only kept tall-ish AA girls that day (my D is tiny and Asian,lol). It was also held at Pearl studios. She said they did see non-equity girls, but since she wasn’t asked to stay after her group went, she isn’t sure if all the non-equity girls were able to be seen, or only some of them. She did say the non-equity girls were called in much bigger groups, like maybe 30 at a time instead of the 10 or 15 in the equity groups. I hope that helps!
