Whenever I go to a dance convention, I'm always extremely scared, but also really excited. I mean, two full days of master classes is pretty awesome, but then there's the audition. Ugh, the audition. This week, I'm going to go over a few tips that my teachers have taught me when it comes to conventions.
1. Where clothes that stand out- When you go to a convention, you want to get noticed. When you get noticed you have a higher chance of winning a scholarship. Who doesn't want a scholarship? Im not saying you have to be one of those girls who wear their old solo costume to a convention, but be fun and colorful. For the upcoming convention i'm going to i'm wearing purple leggings, and a red sports bra for one of the days. Maybe i'll wear a tank top as well.
2. Don't ditch the audition- Last year a few people that I knew ditched their audition because they were scared. My teachers got extremely mad at them and well, long story short we don't even consider skipping the audition anymore.
3. When you're given your audition piece, freaking PRACTICE IT.- You want that scholarship? You have to earn it. Practice that dance until you know it inside and out so you'll make sure to be prepared the next day.
4. Stretch before your classes start- Although the teacher will most likely do a small stretch with you before you start learning combos, it's good to stretch for yourself so you know that you can be more flexible on the dance floor.
5- Don't talk with your friends- This one is pretty obvious. Just, don't do it.
These are the most helpful tips I have for conventions. Thanks for reading! :)
