How to prepare for a dance audition

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.
