Dorothy Keck Dancers Turn Up Krew
The Dorothy Keck Dancers Turn Up Krew is a high energy hip-hop team that competes and performs across the San Antonio area. Established in 2011, our Turn Up Krew has won numerous awards and continues to grow in size and spirit. This group consists of three Krews: Mini Swag (ages 5-8), Junior Force (ages 8-11), and Vibe Squad (ages 10-17).
How to Audition
We welcome new dancers into our competitive programs every year. Our annual auditions take place at our studio during the month of May. Students will be judged on Hip-Hop skills as well as their attitude, focus, and effort. Dancers should wear a leotard or dance top with harem pants, sweat pants, basketball shorts, or fitted leggings. Jazz Shoes or Dance Sneakers should be worn during the audition- no outside shoes are allowed on the dance floor. Hair is expected to be pulled neatly away from the face.
