Auditioning for drill team (dance team)?

Question

I'm going into the 9th grade and auditioning for a dance team and want to impress them. Can you give me tips? Also need to tips on how to remember THEIR routines

Answer 1

Trying out for a dance team can be challenging, but if you work hard, it will be very rewarding! A way to impress the judges (or whoever is watching/judging) you is to learn new and up-and-coming moves. A way to learn these is to try to watch someone else doing them, if you learn mostly by watching then applying. And if you do make the team, a way to remember routines could be jotting them down in a notebook after practice, then reviewing. Good Luck!

Smile, don't be self-conscious! Make sure your movements are crisp and clean, and just have fun. I mean it literally. If you think too hard about the moves, you'll end up tense and nervous. The judges can tell that, and they won't want to have somebody on their team who doesn't look like they want to dance. If you're nervous, deep breath and pretend you're at your home practicing just like any other day. You might want to practice in front of friends and family first too.

Their routines... make up your own storyline to go with each of the dances. And not only is being nervous bad for the image (sorry, I don't mean to be coming off too harsh) but it also overpowers your ability to think clearly... have you heard of test anxiety? The same thing applies, if you just have fun than trust me, everything is a lot more easy to remember.

If you still can't remember it, try asking a teammate for help. (Although you might not want to do it that often)

Answer 3

be confident, smile, and show your personality. it always helps me to get together with friends the day before and go over the routine. just practice practice practice. also makeup words that go along with the movements...if you know what i mean
