About the Workshop:

Dennis Callahan, the original choreographer of Tanz der Vampire, is coming to the Netherlands for an exclusive Mock-Up audition of the infamous musical!

We will start with a 45min warm-up, followed by a 2hour mock-up dance audition in which Dennis teaches the original choreography of Tanz der Vampire and offers personal feedback. The workshop will be accompanied by live music.

After the dance section, you may take the opportunity to perform a mock-up singing audition in which Dennis offers advice and feedback. We charge an additional €5,- for the mock-up singing audition.
