What are their requirements? Thanks for any help!

From what I gathered, it's pretty important what they look like (they don't want little hoochies dancing at the happiest place on earth), but they're not horribly concerned with the complexity of the choreography. There's a lot of information, along with the application, so just poke around. As usual with official Disney things, it can be a little tough to find what you're looking for. <a href="http://tinyurl.com/24q32u" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/24q32u</a>
