How To Properly Go To An Audition
I'll never forget my first time going to a ballet audition. It was less than a satisfactory experience. I wasn't properly equipped nor did I have on the correct attire.
You always need to be mentally prepared for anything you do. Find out about the school that you are auditioning for. What style do they practice? Are they more interested in performance or technique? What do they like to see in dancers? Knowing these types of things are helpful to have in mind when you audition.
I learned the hard way that it's not good to come to an audition after a vacation. You should be taking class right up until the audition day so that you are in shape. Get plenty of sleep the night before, and eat a good breakfast and/or lunch. Trust me you'll need all the energy you can get. Make sure that you are hydrated before, because it is not polite to drink water in the middle of an audition. I think I almost cried when being lectured about doing this.
Usually auditions require girls to wear black leotards and pink tights, and boys to wear white shirts and black tights. If the color leotard is not specified, wear a bright and unique color! It will help you to stand out in class and be noticed. It is still a good idea to bring along a black leotard though, just in case. If you must wear black, choose colored earrings or a pretty headband to wear so you will be remembered more easily. Choose a leotard with a simple, flattering style, and don't wear patterned or multicolored outfits. Part of being a ballet dancer is having good taste. Small earrings and rings are all right, but remove all of your other jewelry. Don't wear dangly jewelry or anything that gets in the way. Never, ever wear leg-warmers, black tights, or any other "junk" to a ballet audition.
