Are you part of a DANCE CREW? Are you somehow involved in a DANCE GROUP? Or are you a SOLO ARTIST? Are you enrolled in dance lessons? Do you just LOVE dancing?

Oh yes! Whether you’re on an exclusive dance crew, or you just love to dance, prepare yourself for Markham’s very first DANCE COMPETITION, STOMP THE YARD! If you’re thinking that this is only open to breakers, krumpers and hip hop dancers, you’re wrong! Anyone is welcome to go audition for the big night. You never know, professional talent agencies and celebrity guests may even be there!

Saturday, April 19th, 2008 (starts 7:30pm)

Milliken Mills Community Centre
7600 Kennedy Road
Markham, ON

Stomp the Yard is a new event that the MYTF is bringing to the youth of Markham in 2008. This dance competition encourages youth in Markham to express their dancing talents in a contest. This event could be the big break dancers in Markham have been looking for; not to mention, these dancers will have the chance to display their moves in front of hundreds of Markham youth.

Have your recording on the computer? Great. You can mail your CD, Tape, or DVD to:

Markham Civic Centre
Attn: Jason Tsien
101 Town Centre Blvd.
Markham, ON

Dancers may also audition live, but in addition to the Stomp the Yard online audition form, you must also complete a Kick-Off Audition Form to get an audition time slot. You may choose to audition on either Thursday, March 6th or Thursday, March 20th, 2008 at 4:30pm. Auditions will take place at the Markham Civic Centre.

So what are you waiting for? The youth of Markham await your presence!

• There is no limited number of people in each group (acts can vary from one dancer to even ten)

• Can be absolutely any type of dance **
