MAKE IT POP SEASON 2 is in production and is holding an open casting auditions for dancers to appear on the show.

On May 1, 2015, Nickelodeon announced that the show will be coming back for a 2nd season and this summer / fall the show is filming 20 new episodes for season 2 in Toronto, Ontario. “Make it Pop” is looking for talented, adult dancers in GTA. The open call will be held on the 10th of this month (see location details below). No appointments are necessary. Talent wanting to try out for the Nickelodeon show may just show up in order to be considered.

“Make it Pop” is geared towards kids / teens and dancers applying should look younger. “Make It Pop”  is specifically looking for dancers, 18+ who look like they may be 15 to 17. The Nickelodeon show begins filming in Toronto on the 24th of this month and will wrap at the end of November. Talent applying should have open availability and be available for rehearsals prior to the filming dates. Both ACTRA and non-ACTRA talent are welcome to apply.

The Nickelodeon Network show is produced by Tommy Lynch and Nick Cannon with choreography by Addy Chan.  “Make It Pop” stars  Megan Lee as Sun Hi, Louriza Tronco plays Jodi, Erika Tham plays Corki and Dale Whibley plays their DJ,  Caleb. According to the show’s IMDB page, “Make It Pop” is produced by DHX Media, N’ Credible Entertainment and Nickelodeon Productions.

“Make It Pop” is a music oriented comedy which  follows three girls away at boarding school. With the help of their new DJ friend, Caleb,  the 3 girls come  together to form a K-Pop band called XO-IQ.  Their K-Pop group  is composed of social media guru, Sun Hi Song, future fashion designer and fashionista Jodi Mappa, and smart girl Corki Chang. The girls don’t have much in common, but their love for music brings them together to find fun, friendship and plenty of mischief at their new school.  The 4 friends turn an old roller rink into a  teen dance club where they can show off their dance moves. The  show follows the girls as they go after their dreams of being pop stars and juggle their other responsibilities, such as school work.
