Élan Dance Company, the pre-professional performing dance company of the Naperville Park District's Dance Academy, is holding auditions for the 2019-2020 season Tuesday, June 4.

Students between the ages of 9 and 18 interested in joining Élan are invited to audition for placement in one of three groups within the company.

Auditions will take place in Room 123 at the Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center, 305 W. Jackson Ave. Specific times for each age group are as follows:

• 5 to 6 p.m.: Junior Company (ages 9-12);

In addition to its regular season that begins in September, Élan Dance Company will offer a summer class and perform pre-shows at two of the Tuesday evening summer recitals at the Millennium Carillon: July 6 and Aug. 9. Both dance performances begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by the carillon recital at 7 p.m.
