Bunheads – ABC Family

ABC Family's Bunheads
Amy Sherman-Palladino, the  Emmy nominated producer of ‘The Gilmore Girls’ has created a new prime-time pilot for ABC Family and auditions are starting soon.

ABC Family has picked up a pilot order for ‘Bunheads’, a one hour scripted drama set in the world of ballet/dance  and they are looking for fresh faced young dance enthusiasts to fill out the cast of this sure-to-be hit.

Written as an homage to her childhood with her dancer mother and her own attempts at ballet, ‘Bunheads’ follows the story of a once-promising dancer who has fallen from Broadway to Vegas. After a shotgun marriage she moves to the east coast and starts teaching at her mother-in-law’s dance school.

if you have ever dreamed of performing in front of the camera for millions of viewers on national television this is your opportunity. Information on casting calls can be found here abcfamilyauditions.com/2011/10/abc-family-series-bunheads-talent.html  Auditions will be held in Los Angeles and New York so leave a comment below if you’d love to be a part of it.

Break out your dancing shoes and strut your stuff!  Dance on the wings of stardom!  It’s your time to be a star!

  9. Honestly, I’ve been wanting to become an actress since I was seven, and I’m 18 years old now. Long time right? I’ve only done some modeling so far, no acting. I would love to start expanding in the industry. Whether it’s shows, or movies! I’m trying my best to make my dream come true, no matter what it takes.
    A quick brief “about me” : I’m 100% Egyptian, 18 years old, very outgoing & friendly, love to laugh and have a great time! And my all time dream is to become an actress.
