Dancing Auditions
Like every other audition, a dancing audition can be extremely stressful. You're up on stage, the judge's eyes are focused on you and you are expected to "dance in order to impress".

Whether you wish to attend a prestigious dancing academy or be accepted to a dance band, not to mention a part in a movie or a musical - a dancing audition is right around the corner! This article will provide you with all the tips for succeeding at a dancing audition.

An important tip from a dancer and choreographer
Always know all the details regarding the dancing audition: what production companies are hosting the auditions. Who the judges are, how long the dancing audition will last... every small detail is important in helping you prepare both technically and emotionally.
Before approaching a dancing audition, it's up to you to find out what kind of style or genre the judges are looking for and whether you'll be asked to improvise or learn a specific routine. It's up to you to find out whether there will be music or whether you need to bring your own with you.

In a dancing audition you might be asked to dance with a partner or even with a group of dancers, you must be prepared for every scenario.

Before your dancing audition, make sure you get a good night's sleep. When arriving at the location, make sure you have enough time to warm up. Always bring a bottle of water and make sure to eat a healthy snack so you'll have enough strength to get you through the day - a day with a dancing audition is a long day!

When approaching a dancing audition, you must have full confidence in your dancing abilities for the judges will immediately "sense" fear and insecurity. When entering a dancing audition, you must appear calm and full of confidence!

When appearing in front of the Judges in a dancing audition remember, that you are there to prove that you are a gifted dancer and that you deserve the part. If the part does not allow you to "show of" all your abilities - that's OK! The most important thing is that you get the part, there will be plenty opportunities to demonstrate your skills or abilities once you have the part. Break a leg!
