We’re so excited to kick off this year’s auditions and discover new talent for our dance crews and teams!
Led by this year’s Koreafest 2nd and 3rd place winning teams, DIA continues to provide high-level training, performance opportunities, and a supportive dance community.

This year, we are hosting auditions earlier than usual to better prepare for the upcoming season’s competitions, performances, and training schedule. Early auditions will allow teams more time to train, bond, and develop stronger sets throughout the year.

If you’re ready to take your training to the next level and be part of a dynamic team, this is your moment to shine. Let’s dance!

No audition is required for DIA Kids, Diamonds I, or Radiate. Registration opens in July.
