Mock Dance Audition 10+
Auditioning is a skill just like acting, singing and dancing. Why not practice auditioning? Just like everything else, the more you audition the better you get at it! You get more comfortable and learn your strengths, weaknesses and what you can do better next time. So much of this business is auditioning and so much of your time will be spent auditioning. It’s crucial to know how to “sell yourself” in the best way possible. Students will participate in various “practice auditions.” Everything will be treated like an audition from when they walk into the room to when they leave. They will be taught choreography quickly and be broken into groups. It will be their responsibility to come warmed up and ready as if it were an actual audition. Feedback will be given and they’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and go over the do’s and don’t of auditioning. We will discuss audition attire and the best things to wear so you feel comfortable and confident going into your audition. This class will help better prepare you for the rigorous process of musical theater auditions and what will be expected of you as a professional!
