The Omega Dance Company is having an audition workshop this weekend. It will be held on Friday, September 7th from 6:00 to 9:00 pm in the Rec Center, Studio B. Attendance is mandatory in order to participate in the audition the following day.

Kelcie Broom, senior art major in charge of the Omega Dance Company, says the workshop is open to anybody interested in dancing and Christian development. She said that at the workshop, participants should expect to learn a jazz combination, contemporary combination, and basic technique that will be performed at Saturday’s auditions.

Melissa Meyer, freshman business management major, will be attending the workshop and audition this weekend. “Dance has always been a passion of mine,”she said.

Meyer has been dancing since she was two years old. Besides the dancing, Meyers is enthusiastic about all the friendships that she will make by joining the Omega Dance Company.

The Omega Dance Company’s mission is “to glorify God by creating community, educating others, and praising His name through dance,” says Broom.

Not only does Omega take part in performances and a weekly master class, they also seek to serve the community of West Texas. They partner with the West Texas Girls Conference each year to teach movement classes.

Omega also places high value on creating a close-knit community, cultivated by team dinners and small group chapels.

Those interested in joining the company can look forward to performing in the homecoming parade, Sing Song, the Ethnos Culture Show, and the Company’s very own spring show.

Despite all of the performances planned for Omega this year, Broom is most excited about the new relationships that will be formed within the team.

The main focus of the group is to glorify God through time spent in prayer and dancing.

“Above all, we want God to be glorified for what we do and to praise Him for the blessings He’s given us,” says Broom.
