Are you crazy about dancing? Do you enjoy dressing up and putting on sparkly makeup? Are you hard-workinÕ, upbeat, fun, wacky, and an all-around groovy girlie?? Then we want YOU to... AUDITION for San Francisco's THE DEVIL-ETTES!

The Devil-Ettes are having their first auditions in two years and weÕre looking for 2 fabulous go-go girls to join us.

Wait a sec, who are the Devil-Ettes?? Holy smokes, where have you been hiding? Well, in case you havenÕt heard, weÕre San Francisco's one-and-only synchronized go-go dance troupe! WeÕve been described as the Rock-n-Roll RockettesÉKitchsy, Campy, Retro CutiesÉand San FranciscoÕs Sweethearts! WeÕve performed in Las Vegas, New Orleans, Los Angeles and of course all over the Bay Area. We LOVE all ladies... big, small, straight, queer, any age. We dance primarily to upbeat/rare tunes from the 50s-60s (so if youÕre lookinÕ to launch your career as a hip hoppinÕ FLY GIRL or you like to take it down to PASTIES, we may not be the group for you!).

WeÕre not professionals and we donÕt make tons of cash, but we DO love to have fun and shake and shimmy in the spotlight. The Devil-EttesÕ success has been always been a team effort and weÕre looking for girls who like to play nice in the sandbox. No divas please! We have weekly rehearsals, various Devil-Ette activities (like crafting props and costumes) and, of course, performances! Are you ready to work hard AND have loads of fun?? Then what are you waiting for!

Sounds awesome! What do I need to do? Glad you asked! To become an Audition-Ette, you must:

A. Read the 'Guidelines for being a good Devil-Ette' (visit: http://www.devilettes.com/audition.html)

B. Fill out the super important Fancy Questionnaire!

C. Create/choreograph your very own 1-minute audition dance.

ÒHELP! IÕm not a choreographer!!Ó
Relax. We donÕt expect you to have any fancy choreography skills Ð weÕre interested in your spirit (and ok, letÕs be honestÉyour sense of rhythm!). We want you to have fun choosing your music, your outfit and your dance moves. This is supposed to be fun!

Once you come up with a one-minute dance audition, you have two ways to show us your stuff: send us a tape OR perform it for us LIVE and in person at our live taping.

  1. Tape your dance.
    Send us a VHS tape or DVD of your very own a one-minute dance to us along with your questionnaire. We must receive all video tape submissions by Monday April 9th. The video can be raw and unedited. Please keep the video to one minute (60 seconds).
    We won't watch your audition if it is longer. Unfortunately no multi-person auditions are allowed (ONE person per video audition please).

Send your questionnaire and VHS video or DVD to:
Baby Doe
Devil-Ettes Audition
2215-R Market Street #177
S.F. CA 94114

You can also drop your video off at this address Monday- Friday 10-7pm. Be sure to address the package to Baby Doe and please clearly LABEL your video with your NAME!

  1. Performing your dance live!
    If you donÕt have access to a video camera, donÕt fret. You can come to our live video taping date on Monday April 9th from 7:30pm Ð 9pm and we will tape your one minute audition for you! Please bring your completed questionnaire to this taping. You can contact us directly for details on the taping session. Again, only one person per audition please! NOTE: WeÕre all about personalities and for this reason your questionnaire will count as much as your audition tape! So please fill it out completely!

D. Once we have reviewed everything, we will have call-backs for ten (10) finalists! These lucky ten ladies will be invited to join us at a fun two-day workshop. You MUST be available Thursday April 12th 7:30-10pm and Sunday April 15th 4pm-6pm for this two part workshop - SORRY, NO EXCEPTIONS!

We look forward to meeting you on the dance floor!

XOXO The Devil-Ettes
