Nail it!

Be sure to nab that audition! According to Dance Spirit Magazine,  there are easy tactics to prepare yourself fully for your audition so that you can show up ready to perform at your best.

• do your research about the project, being sure to understand what exactly it is that casting is looking for
• give yourself enough time to arrive, stretch, as well as sit and clear your thoughts
• bring copies of an updated headshot and resume
• if freestyle is on the menu, come prepared mentally
• have a high protein breakfast, bring a snack such as a protein bar and a bottle of water with you
• get into technique classes in the days prior to audition date (many!!!) not just to strengthen technique, but to prep your brain for picking up choreo quickly
• take musical theater classes- it will help you to build character. Brush up on acting and singing. You never know which direction the audition could go!
• come prepared with extra shoes in case there is a surprise at the audition. (bring sneakers and heels)
• dont just pick up on the choreography~read how the choreographer is performing the piece
• present yourself as if you are the star already! make everyone in the room want to watch you (in a good way)
• mind your manners!!!!!!!!!
• stay out of your skull, dance it - love it- feel it.  your passion will flow through your body. It will be then out of your control, so dont focus on what you may have done wrong, just enjoy the movement and leave your passion on the dance floor
