Are musical talent and performance ability requirements for participation?
No audition or prior performance experience is required for acceptance. However, if you have a vocal or instrumental music talent or dance abilities, you’ll enjoy using them in the musical component of the Up with People program. Up with People was founded on the principle of using music as a means of communicating with, moving, and inspiring people — a truly universal language. The Up with People show remains a core component of the program, along with a dedication to service learning, cultural exchange and hands-on workshops in each place we visit. As a participant, you are expected to be involved in all aspects of the program.
