Go to all your rehersals (if you have any formal ones) and only watch so you can pick up the moves!.

Go over it in your head!. Listen to the music continuasly and think about the costumes!. Once your legs are better starts practicing but only lightly!.

Oh and Good Luck at your audition!. I bet you will be amazing!.

if its on the inside of your leg then it is from over practicing what i recommend is to do is still stretch for the splits but don't go into them or you will damage the muscle/s further!. rest it lots too and some gels can help the muscle/s from a chemist or pharmacy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You probably over worked the muscles in your leg!. Give your leg a rest and dont worry so much about the audition!! Honestly, they look at your dancing ability, not your splits!!

let it rest for a while, then start practicing again, but not so hardWww@QuestionHome@Com
