CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Gladiators are pleased to announce the team will hold three open auditions for the 2009 Goddesses – the official dance team of the Gladiators.  The auditions will take place on Friday, October 24, Saturday, October 25 and Sunday, October 26.

To be eligible for the auditions, women must be 18 years of age or older by November 6, 2008.  All participants are required to wear two-piece dancewear with a midriff top, lycra shorts and appropriate dance footwear.

The fee for the auditions is $25.  Tryouts will be judged on dance ability, appearance, personality and attitude.  Participants will be taught a routine and do not need to prepare their own.  Those invited back will be required to attend a business interview and a boot camp the week following open auditions.  The finals will be held within two weeks of the open audition.
