Dance Team Auditions


Question Posted Sunday July 27 2014, 5:11 pm

I'm female and 18, thin build, 5'4" with 113-114lbs. I'm going to start college soon and I found out that there's a Dance Team. In high school I was in basically the only dance team there was but from 11th to 12 th grade nobody had time for it anymore so it pretty much got cancelled. I'm not an expert, I can do expert flips, splits, or any sort of acrobatic move. However I really love to dance, and I think it would be fun to audition even if they don't pick me. The thing is... they have a lot of requirement I can't comply to: experience (being in a four year dance team that only performed once a year couldn't really be called experience), recommendation note (I never had a teacher nor a coach, we were just independent kids who wanted to have fun and show everybody our inner talents in a school where mathematics and sciences were everything), jazz shoes, sneakers for hip hop (I dance with whatever I have or barefoot and all I have are my converse which I love, slippers and a pair of what you could and couldn't call ballerina slippers), and it has to be only contemporary, lyrical and street jazz. There were other requirements but those weren't hard for me (black clothing, punctuality, a 1min routine, etc). Now I like jazz a lot... but I'm a little out of shape and any of those types of jazz require a lot of flexibility that I currently don't possess. The one good thing about me is that I can always learn steps quite quickly and when it's hip hop especially I really get my groove on. I'm just wondering, is there any chance they would even consider me with those things I lack that in pretty sure other dancers will have? If so, is it worth all the trouble or should I just forget about it?

Always chase your dreams and aspirations. If you love something do not let it slip away. Who knows what the outcome will be - it sounds as if you have some pretty heavy qualifications and I wouldn't be afraid if I was you. I believe that you should go for it. Never give up. At least you can say that you have tried, and you won`t regret doing nothing and watching someone else take this opportunity from you. Be fearless and show it through your audition - good luck! :)
