Question: Jazz dance competition teams!?
i'm 13 and in jazz 3, and i want to audition for competitive jazz teams!. do u think that i'll be good enough!? i mean i know there's no way you can see me actually dancing but jazz 3 is a pretty intense class!. i can do a clean double (very close to a triple!.!.!. i should be able to do a clean one by audition time) and have my right splits down!. but i have no training in any other styles except 1 year in hip hop!. my studio has super good competition teams and they want you to be well-rounded and i have never taken a ballet or tap class!. so does anyone have any advice for me before i audition!? thanks so much =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am no expert but i am 13 and a senior in my dancing school well we have mini, mini elites, jr, jr elites, senior, senior elites but still i have clean double and triple and my 4th one too and i have all of my splits down of course i have dance everyday and i take everything and i practice non stop but still i mean you have to work really hard! i barley got sleep yet i still had a very bussy social life too! i say go for it but dont be disappointed if you dont make it i mean i have been dancing since i was two and i have been on the competition team since i was 6 oh and i have really good leaps and jumps and stuff ha lol but yeah so i say go for it and just dance like no one is watching and just go for it full out and show the juges what you can do and do it well oh did i tell you that every year at my dancing school that you have to re audition every single year i mean its one thing to be on the team but u have to go go and go again and ppl who were on the team last year only made some classes too! sorry if i brought you down or anything but still go for it from one dancer to the next dance you life out!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

All you have to do to make a team is be confident and not let any body stand in the way of getting what you want!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
