MyDanceDates gathers open calls from the boards and companies you already follow, reads every listing so you don't have to, and keeps each audition moving from “interested” to “hired” — with every deadline on the calendar you already use.
Four steps, and the first one happens without you. Open the app to a short stack of new auditions instead of forty open tabs.
Start with the audition boards New York dancers already check, then add the company sites you care about.
Every new audition is a card with the facts already pulled out of the listing. Three buttons, and you're through it.
Your tracker lists what needs you first: whatever closes soonest sits at the top, and every status change gets a date.
Subscribe once, and auditions and deadlines appear in Google or Apple Calendar — and keep themselves up to date.
Auditions get posted while you're in class. MyDanceDates reads them for you.
Each morning your sources get checked for new calls, so the stack is waiting when you open the app with your coffee.
Date, time, venue, pay, age and what to bring are pulled out of each listing. When it isn't sure about a detail, the card says so.
When the same call shows up in three places, you get one card that says “seen 3×”, not three cards to sort through.
Whatever closes soonest goes to the top. Calls with no date stay in the list at the bottom, so nothing gets lost.
Every audition climbs one ladder, and each step is stamped with the day it happened. A year from now you can look up the company, see exactly how far you got, and when.
Being interested in an audition doesn't mean you've committed to it. So MyDanceDates puts your auditions and deadlines on your calendar as free time — you can see them, but your day isn't blocked. Once you get a callback, it switches to busy.
We start with public audition boards for New York City, because that's where the open calls get posted — from established companies down to a choreographer casting three dancers for one night.
Open calls from NYC companies and independent choreographers.
Dancer calls for musical theatre and Equity productions.
Fewer listings, but real ones.
Add the sites of companies you'd love to dance with.
We credit the source. Every audition links back to the original listing, so the company and the board get the click.
We follow each site's rules. If a site tells automated tools to stay out, we stay out.
We save the facts, not the whole post. Who, when, where and the pay — and a link to read the rest where it was posted.
Every feature here started as something a dancer needed while she was in the middle of audition season.
Keep your resume, headshots and private video links in the app. They're stored separately from everything public, and only you can open them until you choose to send one.
Start from a fill-in-the-blanks template for each kind of audition, edit it, and send it from your own email — so the reply comes back to you.
If a listing is vague about a date or a deadline, the card flags it with “check the post” instead of guessing.
Archive an audition when it's done and it waits for you next year. Search by company and see how far you got last time.
Tapped “Applied” by mistake? Undo deletes it from the history completely, so your history only shows what really happened.
One slider makes all the text bigger or smaller, so you can read listings on the train without squinting.
Open MyDanceDates on your phone, pick your sources, and you'll have your first stack of auditions to go through.
