Dance Audition with Echo Contemporary Dance Co.

Tips On Preparing For A Dance Audition

Auditions for a dancer are very important but more often than not they are the most stressful part of a dancer’s life. Here are some tips to help you prepare for your dance auditions:

• The most important part of a dancer’s day is training. Take them extremely seriously and train hard to ensure that you are ready. Focus on perfecting your technique.

• Be attentive. Listen to your teacher’s criticism and apply them.

• Practice your technique and apply some creativity. Put together a seamless presentation that showcases both your creativity and technical skills.

• Try to remember your combinations.

• Be physically healthy.

• Preparing for an audition should not be a last minute thing, it should be a daily activity.

• Know your schedule and availability before committing to an audition.

• Prepare what you plan to wear to your audition ahead of time.

• Have your audition materials ready and on hand.

• Be well groomed. Do not overwhelm with too much makeup or too much perfume.

• Arrive early. Casting may need you to fill out paperwork or you may need the extra time to calm your nerves.

• Find a place to warm-up.

• Stay focused and pay close attention to the instructions given.

• Make a very strong First Impression.
