"We are pleased to announce audition dates for the Detroit Pistons Dancers and look forward to an outstanding two days of performances and competition," said Harlan Hendrickson, Vice President of Marketing for Palace Sports & Entertainment.
The team says dancers will be judged on dance ability, athleticism, personality, self-confidence and the ability to be a team player.
"Our dancers not only learn from top choreographers in the business but also have to opportunity to showcase their talents alongside grammy-award winning artists and entertainment industry insiders," said Hendrickson.
Participants must be 18 years or older by Oct. 1, 2013. The team says all participants are also required to wear dance attire and must submit a headshot and resume at registration.

Dancers will then learn a second routine and audition in smaller groups in front of the judges, according to the team.
Team officials said dancers who make it through the final round of cuts will advance to the semi-finals, which will be held on Monday, July 22 at Great Lakes Golf & Sports Complex, located at 3951 Joslyn Road in Auburn Hills.
