Brandt Brauer Frick seek ballerinas

The Brandt Brauer Frick ensemble are looking for ballerinas to join them on stage at Glastonbury Festival.

They're hosting a competition to find the dancers - ideally four friends who will attend the festival together. In order to enter the dancers will need to choreograpgh a routine to Bop (links below) and submit their entry via either a Youtube or Vimeo and send to hello@brandtbrauerfrick.de.

The German trio, expanded to a ten-piece ensemble, create purely acoustic dance music. Their debut album, 'You Make Me Real' sees them using real instruments, real people, and not just machines. Playing with the idea, they made a video. They triplicated themselves and three became ten. Never content with just a big idea, they got carried away. "If three can be ten, why can't we have dancers?" said one. "How about ballerinas?!" Said another. The result was 'Bop' which can be seen on YouTube here. When Glastonbury organiser, Michael Eavis saw 'Bop', he not only fell in love with The Brandt Brauer Frick Ensemble. He wanted the ballerinas to boot.

Now they're looking for ballerinas to make them real, they're looking for four classical style ballerinas to perform their own choreographed piece to 'Bop' at The West Holts stage, on Saturday 25th June.

Entrants should submit their choreographed performances via hello@brandtbrauerfrick.de (just send them a link to a youtube or vimeo video of your performance).

The competition closes on Monday 23rd May (feel free to submit before then!).
