What are some good questions for a dance tryout interview?

Question

I'm needing a little help. Our dance company will have a tryout in a couple of months and I'm helping to coordinate it. I think we have the basic layout down, but I need some suggestions on at least 10 good questions to ask the person auditioning.

I might also like any tips or suggestions on the overall tryout and how to determine the best qualified for our dance team. Thanks!

Answer 1

When I ask a dancer or actor questions for interviews, I ask about some personal stuff to throw them off guard and if they respond well and polite then I know I've found some one great to work with.

Also ask them questions like, how long have you been dancing, do you enjoy dancing, do you have a temper, have you had any dance related injuries, do you mind dancing in (so-in-so) costume, do you mind dancing with (so-in-so). You know stuff like that.

I also use numbers for auditioning people instead of name cards so if someone knows a person auditioning family, then it's still fair no one knows anyone else.

And It's good to keep a straight face, don't let them know what you're thinking. Well there you go, hope this helps.  

Answer 2
