An immersive two-day workshop and audition in Columbus, Ohio for professional and emerging dancers to train, explore, and be considered for future work with WhirlWind Dance.

Where: The Well Center for Movement — Columbus, Ohio, USA

When: November 22 + 23, 2025

Deadline for applications: Early Bird Registration: 10/24/2025 Final Deadline: November 21, 2025

The WhirlWind Dance Fall Workshop & Audition is a unique opportunity for professional and pre-professional dancers to engage in an immersive, movement-driven experience led by the WhirlWind artistic team. This workshop is designed not only as an exploration of technique and creative expression, but also as an audition for future performance and project-based opportunities with WhirlWind Dance.

Participants will train in an intensive, process-oriented environment that emphasizes individuality, artistic integrity, and physical rigor. Dancers will engage with WhirlWind’s repertory material and improvisational structures, while also having space to contribute their own voice and movement perspective.

This is an ideal opportunity for artists who are looking for a collaborative home to grow, create, and evolve—whether as part of a company or in project-based work. The workshop will also serve as a space for mutual discovery between the dancers and the company’s creative leadership.
