Time: 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
Location: Alamo City Arts Academy

Alamo City Arts is excited to announce auditions for the 2025 Ford Holiday River Parade, one of San Antonio’s most beloved holiday traditions. We are seeking talented and enthusiastic performers to join us for this festive event, which will take place on Friday, November 28th, 2025. This is a paid performance opportunity for professional and experienced dancers. 
Dancers with experience in ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, and musical theater are encouraged to audition. Participants must be age 16 or older by the audition date and should arrive prepared to move and showcase their versatility, performance energy, and holiday spirit.
Please note: These auditions are for dancers who will be performing alongside the floats at the Arneson River Theatre during the parade—not for placement on a parade float.
This is a wonderful paid opportunity to perform in front of thousands of spectators and represent Alamo City Arts on one of the city’s biggest stages of the season.

For questions, please contact us at [email protected] or call us at 210.369.8311.

We look forward to seeing you there!
