Dance auditions are very stressful; everyone wants the same spot
you want. You are constantly feeling like you have to do perfect. There are so
many ways you can prepare to do well, but I have three major steps on how to
succeed.
First, you are going to want to stretch every
day, not just in practice. It would be horrible if you were to hurt yourself
before you try out. Flexibility is a huge step into becoming a great dancer.
Also, make sure you are stretching every part of your body; your head, neck,
shoulders, hips, all the way down to your toes. Use the stretches that your
dance teachers tell you to do if you’re not sure what to do. You should stretch
whenever you possibly can. Try to stretch for 25 minutes if not more a day.
Another thing you should do is PRACTICE!
Practicing your dance for the audition is so important. What a lot of people do
is practice by them and then calls it good. That is not what you want to do,
you audition is front of judges so you need to practice in front of people to
get your nerves out of the way and that way they can critique you. If you could
practice in front of people who have dance experience that would be the best,
that way when they critique you they actually know what they are talking about.
The last step I have for you is to just be confident with
yourself. Don’t be negative; stay positive because you can do it! Don’t let the
other dancers intimidate you and just worry about yourself. You should come out
of the audition knowing you did your absolute best, not that you could have
done better.
