You have to be "in a bubble" when you audition. Just pay close attention to what you're supposed to do and concentrate! Forget your surroundings and soak up every instruction you recieve. It's not the end of the world if you don't make it in. Just do your best! Sometimes when something doesn't go our way, we don't get what we want, or don't "make it", it can be a blessing in disguise and we can still learn from it. Also, just be confident! I am sure you're a good dancer, but every dancer is different, so don't be intimidated by anyone! Use your strong points to build your confidence!
Good Luck, girl!

P.S. We all (us dancers) have nervous auditions to go through, you'r not alone; we're all pullin' for ya!!

Hi,
Do not forget why you are dancing-- because you love it! Go and enjoy yourself. Do it for your own pleasure, because you want it!
If you will get in - great, if not - great too (You still have your love for dancing).
Go get it Tiger!
Yours,

What's the worst that can happen? You don't get accepted? You will still wake up in the morning! Just prepare best you can, do what you came to do, and learn from the results, either way. Once you get there you'll know, immediately, fif you even care about the outcome. I can't tell you how many auditions I went to and was like, "Yeah, ok lady." You may also surprise yourself, by the same token I thought I bombed several auditions only to be offered a decent part.

Good luck!
