Auditions

How do auditions work?

Our 2026 auditions will be held in the third week of Semester 1.Each audition is conducted privately and takes around 5 minutes to complete. During the audition process, you will answer a few simple questions and dance to sections of two K-pop choreographies.
These can either be the two choreography choices provided by Konstellation, or one of Konstellation's choices along with your own chosen section of a K-pop choreography.
Please note that the audition process is subject to change. Our site will be updated regularly with any changes.

Who will be judging my audition, and what will they be looking for?

You will be judged by a small panel consisting of two to three of our executive team members.Things that they will be looking for include dance accuracy, stage/camera presence and lip-syncing, along with other aspects of your performance.

How many people do you accept into the crew at auditions?

There is no set number of people that we accept each year. Factors contributing to the final number of new members per year include the current number of active crew members and the suitability of auditionees for our crew.

Covers and Performances

How often do you have practices?

Each cover will practice at least once a week. Members can participate in up to three projects simultaneously.Performances take priority over covers. Practices for performances may exceed once a week depending on time constraints.
