San Juan, PR -
Producers for Ricky Martin's upcoming Music + Soul + Sex world tour will hold auditions for dancers Tuesday in Puerto Rico.
Martin is looking for dancers between the ages of 18 and 25 experienced in jazz, hip-hop, salsa, tango, samba, ballet, modern dance and flamenco. Auditions at the Rhythms Dance Studio in San Juan begin at 10am.
The tour marks the first return of Martin to the musical stage since coming out gay.
Martin announce he was gay in a blog post on his website in March and then kept mum about the details until the release of his memoir, titled Me, in October.
He's said in numerous interviews that holding his twin sons gave him the courage to come out of the closet.
Among the images shown in Music + Soul + Sex's first music video for the single The Best Thing About Me Is You are gay and lesbian couples in affectionate poses.
"Freedom," Martin says in the video. "You, me, we're equal."
