Frequently Asked Questions
Everything dancers and artistic directors ask before stepping into the wings.
A private casting and networking platform made specifically for dance. Dancers keep one living profile; artistic staff review, shortlist and invite from a single workspace.
The Wings is open to professional dancers, pre-professional trainees, choreographers, artistic directors, and company administrators/casting teams.
No. Unlike traditional job boards that broadcast public listings, The Wings is a private directory where companies search, filter, and shortlist dancers based on specific needs, sending private invitations.
Never. The Wings is designed to get as many dancers hired as possilbe. That's why Artistic directors, ballet masters and their whole review team use The Wings free, permanently. There is no seat limit and no trial period.
Dancers can create a basic profile saved for when they are looking for work. Your profile becomes visible to directors when you activate it for $12/month. Cancel at any time once you have found work, or have the option to stay visible all year round for more dynamic, project based dancers.
No, we never take commissions or fees on contracts secured through the platform. Any contract negotiations and payments occur directly between the dancer and the company.
A green light is a private signal of interest. Dancers are able to see clear stats about company contracts, salaries, and repertoire before expressing interest. When you send a green light, you enter the company's dashboard of interested candidates. When there's mutual interest you enter into direct communication with artistic staff. No more wondering what happened to your email.
Your profile is not searchable on Google or visible to the public. Only verified directors and casting staff of active dance companies can view your profile and contact you.
Yes. Every company and artistic director profile is manually verified by our team before they are allowed to search the directory or contact dancers.
Companies attach audition details, dates and requirements to an invitation. Everything — scheduling, notes, offers — stays in one thread.
Travel support options are specified within individual audition invitations or contract stats. Some companies offer travel stipends or cover audition expenses, which will be visible on their profiles.
To stand out, your profile should feature your resume, training background, high-quality photos (headshots, dance shots), video reels showing repertoire or class work, and your upcoming availability.
