Hi All! I have been coming here for great Disney advice, so now I'm reaching out for other types!
My daughter is trying out for a "specialized" high school program that focuses on dance. They are selecting 18 dancers out of about 75 trying out.
She is a very good dancer (not the best in the world, but very good). She is not one of the petite ultra-flexible ballet type dancers. She does cheer as well, so she has more of a cheerleader physique (strong muscular legs and arms). Tap is more her specialty.
She's already filled out all the forms and gotten recommendations. She has excellent grades, and lots of extracurricular activities, so that will all help too.
They will participate in a group setting, learning small combinations etc. Then, there is an interview of some type. Then, they perform a solo (hers will be in tap).
Can anyone suggest some audition "Do's" or "Don'ts"? The only things she's been told so far are:
- wear something other than black, just to stand out a little bit.
- try to get near the front of the room during the group setting.
She's hoping some day to either be a Rockette or a performer at Disney... so you could be helping to mold another park performer!
Thanks in advance for your help!
