We want mature, responsible, intelligent young women who have strong communication skills and are interested in becoming an integral part of the Ottawa community," said Natalie O'Byrne, Choreographer of the 2005 Ottawa Renegades Dance Team. "Performing for thousands of people, attending city-wide promotional events, being part of an awesome team of young women, and having tons of fun are all part of being our squad. If this interests you, we want you to try out for the Ottawa Renegades dance team."

Registration begins promptly at 6 p.m. on April 6. Applications will not be accepted after 6:45 p.m. Prospective dances are also asked to being a recent photograph and dance resume.
Auditions will begin at 7:00 pm. Dancers are asked to be dressed in appropriate attire (aerobic top, dance pants/capris/shorts, jazz oxfords/dance sneakers).
