JONES. Ballet and Modern; Ability to improvise and communicate through an original movement sequence. We are interested in all physical types – including Large “Earth Mother” Types who can handle the Choreography Ideally, we are seeking Major R&B vocal chops; Be familiar with or have a feel for 1970’s R&B/SOUL/FUNK MUSIC; Able to Sing the highest part in a number of "girl group"-style background vocals, so be comfortable singing in soprano register, sometimes with great power and edge, at other times just floating up to kiss a high note. Equally strong belt register and low notes are both desirable, but the main focus is the high stuff. True belt to D; mix with strength to G above that.
