FEATURED
Don’t be stressed before the audition; it is the worst thing you can do. Get
lots of sleep the night before the audition, stretch and drink a lot of water!
The morning of the audition eat something light. An example would be a
banana or yogurt. Make sure you are kind and have good sportsmanship
because you never know the person you are auditioning with, could be the
person you’re auditioning for one day! Don’t stand in the front if you don’t
have the dance completely down. Which brings me to detail, make sure you
pay attention when you’re learning the dance and know every detail, be-
cause one detail that you missed could cost you your audition and you work
too hard for that. The worst thing you can do is be upset or even quit if you
don’t make it through the audition. It should actually make you work harder
so you can show the judges you got what it takes next time!
Getting nervous isn’t fun for anyone. If you are one of those people who get
nervous before you go on stage, then try this fun tip! Close your eyes, and
find a place that makes you travel to somewhere new. You use your imag-
ination to relax and not think about who is in the audience. When you’re
on stage, you can go to that place and block out the crowd. It can be funny,
inspirational and more! Don’t worry about who is watching or what is going
to happen. Own the stage and take a deep breath! The night before you
perform, make sure you are prepared. Have everything ready and laid out.
Have two pairs of all your tights in case a hole gets in your tights or someone
else forgot there’s. Stretch before you go to bed, so you are nice and rested
the next day! Performances can be stressful but just have fun and do what
you love! That’s what I do!
