Lee Daniels new drama series ‘Empire” is filming in the Chicago area and is now casting dancers.
The show will be filming a club scene next month and is looking for extras who can dance. Hip, gritty or trendy men and women in their 20’s and 30’s are welcome to apply. They are especially interested in those with hip hop dance experience and those that dance at clubs. This will be filming in the Chicago area and they will only be considering talent that is local. Casting directors are interested in people with dance experience and also request that interested talent include a link to a video of them dancing in their submissions. The scene is scheduled to shoot next month on the 7th.
“Empire” tells the story of a family run Hip Hop music business. Terrence Howard takes the lead role as Lucious. Also starring in the series are Taraji P. Henson and Gabourey Sidibe.
