10 roles

Dainty JuneFemale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Baby June as a young teenager. The older she gets, the less she enjoys being in the act. The ability to do the splits and twirl a baton a big plus, but not a requirement. Must dance very well including tap.

Boy-next-door type. Strives to break out of the troupe with an act of his own. Sings and dances “All I Need Is the Girl.” Strong dance skills preferred particularly tap.
