An audition is the time that you want to shine and be your best.
You want to make this audition seem like it’s the most important
thing, and, actually for the moment, it is!
The first thing you need to do is what any other athlete does -
look after and nurture your own body. You don’t want to spend
the night before an audition out drinking with your friends. You
want to relax and get a good nights sleep. You may want to
consider a relaxing massage the day before.
On a daily basis eat a healthy diet, get proper rest and make
time to relax. If you learn meditation and practice it, it will
help reduce the stress of every day too. Keep your body in tip
top physical shape by continuing with your regular exercise
routine. You may want to pay more attention to your physical
appearance right before an audition – refresh that hair cut or
color.
A lot of choreographers have started out right where you are
today, in the chorus line. As dance is such a creative endeavor
most choreographers depend on their gut instincts when they pick
music, and dancers. They’re looking at you from the minute you
talk in the door. They want to see how you are interacting with
others. How confident do you appear? Have you smiled? How
relaxed do you look?
Remember that attending any audition is a good learning
experience, they give you the opportunity to learn a lot about
yourself. Remember that not being chosen is a part of the
audition process and don’t take it personally. Take any
criticism you receive and turn it into a positive. Instead of
resenting the criticism you might receive take it upon yourself
to improve yourself. Work on your moves if you need to. You’ll
want to be ready for your next audition

How to fake my way through a dance audition?
I have a musical theatre audition for a musical coming up, and the musical is very strong in dance. The choreographer for this show is really, really good. But I have very little formal dance experience. So my question is: does anyone have any tips for how to fake my way through this dance audition? I’ve done lots of musicals and musical auditions before, so I know basic terminology. I’ve also been renting dance videos to help. But does anyone have any other tips? Thanks!

I’ve taken many years of dance, but I’m not skinny. So going into my last dance audition – I was nervous. Like your situation, the choreographer what AMAZING. The show was Thoroughly Modern Mille. Anyways, there are two things to remember:
1. Keep your head up and make eye-contact with the judges.
2. SMILE! Smile the whole time. No matter what. Just plaster that smile on and go with it.
All that being said, that’s what I’ve always done, and it has landed me some great parts. CONFIDENCE is the biggest key, I promise.
Break a leg
PS – If it’s for a musical, do your best with the dancing and make up for anything you feel you lack by blowing them away with your singing! That’s a good trick
