4. Arrive at your audition at least 15 minutes early to check in and warm up. The audition is a master class.

• Dance auditions occur after the long winter break. Please take as many technique classes as possible during the break so the adjudicators can see you at your best.
• Arrive at the audition early so you may become familiar with the studio, check-in, prepare, and warm-up.
• Dancewear requirements are specified below. Plan your dancewear well in advance of the audition. Wear it for a technique class prior to the audition to be certain it is comfortable and flattering. You want to present a neat, professional appearance.
• Before the audition, please tell the instructor about any recent or chronic injuries so he or she can help you take appropriate precautions.
• During the audition, if you don’t understand a combination or direction, raise your hand and ask the instructor to repeat the information.
• Approach the audition as an opportunity to take a class from a new teacher. The teacher and the adjudicators realize you may be a bit nervous. They want to see your movement and performance qualities, as well as your technique, so enjoy the experience!
