Dress in the theme of the part you are auditioning for but NOT in a costume. It's always good to look professional so no rips, tears, faded clothes aren't great either and Clean clothes are a Must. Don't wear jeans- Absolutley no matter what! Don't wear anything that looks like you could go to the gym in. Skirts are okay as long as you can move in them (leggings underneath are a very good idea). Dress pants you can move in are good too. A good rule is no clevage or butt cracks, mid-drift showing is also frowned upon.

Make sure your hair is out of your face!!!

These are just my opinions, things I've learned from being both a director and actor. Your clothes give you your first impression but what will get you the part is your audition itself so make sure that you put 10 times the effort into your song and monologue.

And since you are auditioning in school (a learning enviroment) ask your Drama teacher for advice on what to wear, because maybe they have something specific in mind, or contradicting to what everybody else is saying. And in the end the director is the one you need to impress to get the role.

Are you a boy or a girl?
I only know for girls. If you can dance in a skirt, and the part you are aming for wears dresses or skirts, wear one. Or you could go simple, sweats or jeans. But whatever you do, dont dress exactly in character.

Tips for a number 1 audition - dance audition - Summer Study
Dance Magazine, Jan, 1995 by Muriel Topaz
Have you ever noticed that some people seem to breeze through auditions? Have you ever asked yourself what they know that you don't? No matter how confident those folks seem, they are probably as nervous as you are. Everyone is a little tense at audition time. The secret of appearing calm is to prepare yourself as well as you can, try to do your best, and then accept the results for what they are: just another learning experience, another step in your career. You will attend many auditions during your years as a dancer; it is certain that you won't be chosen in all of them, so don't fret. It happens to everyone.

The first rule is to look your very best. Neatness definitely counts. Be sure your outfit is attractive, clean, and in excellent repair. An audition is no place for tights with holes or the sweats you've cut into your favorite neckline shape. Dancewear is designed to show the line of the body, and that is certainly one of the things the people running the audition are interested in. Leg warmers, oversized sweaters, and plastic pants, while comfortable and cozy, hide the very line being looked for. The dancer wearing them will probably be ignored. If you wear warmups while waiting to be called, be sure to remove them before being asked to do so.

It is most important to dress appropriately for the particular audition you are taking. If you are auditioning for a school or apprentice program and a uniform is suggested, be sure to wear it. For the ladies, pink tights and a black leotard are always appropriate for a ballet audition; for the gentlemen, black tights and a white T-shirt, tucked in, are standard. For Broadway or for modern dance, choose something brighter. It is excellent to wear something that helps the auditioners identify you; however, don't be flamboyant unless the situation calls for it. Choose the leotard with the most flattering neckline and cut, the T-shirt that fits just right, and by all means look as attractive as you can. Hairdos and makeup, even the haircut, should also be flattering and appropriate to the situation. No one will notice the mouse at the back whose hair is unkempt, or the person who is trying to fade into the woodwork.

Be sure you are equipped with appropriate footwear as well. For a ballet audition be certain to have soft technique slippers, and, for the ladies, pointe shoes. For other auditions sneakers, jazz or tap shoes, or bare feet may be expected. Inform yourself in advance and come prepared.

If you are auditioning for a summer ballet program and no uniform is specified, gentlemen might wear a light colored T-shirt with black tights. Ladies should wear a pastel colored leotard with your favorite neckline and sleeve length, the one that makes you look and feel your best. For the ladies, silk flowers or a ribbon in very neatly groomed hair are always pleasant, but make sure they are firmly anchored. Wear light makeup if it is appropriate to your age group; small earrings are acceptable for those with pierced ears. Leave all jangly jewelry at home.

What to Bring

Come to an audition prepared with a concise resume highlighting the best (or in some cases the only) things you have done thus far. The resume should never exceed one page and should be certain to list your name, address, telephone, fax number if you have one, the roles you have danced, and where you danced them. It might also include your principal teachers and any choreography or teaching you have done. If at all possible you should have an 8 x 10 glossy photograph of yourself. Most people prefer a full-body shot in dance clothes, although some require a head shot. Black-and-white is fine. For a summer program, do have a resume with you just in case; probably no photograph will be required.

What to Do, and What They Are Looking For

It is obvious that you bring to every audition the sum total of all the work you have been doing in class and in performance. Your technique isn't suddenly going to change during the audition, so all you can do is your very best. The first rule is to pay close attention to what is being shown and what is being asked for. This is not the moment to be a choreographer; do the combination as it is given. But dance it as fully as you possibly can! You are demonstrating your discipline, your ability to take direction, and, most of all, your joy in moving.

Summer programs are looking for dancers who will make good students--students who are disciplined and eager to learn. Those programs attached to companies may also be looking for dancers with potential to develop into company members, dancers who are open to learning the company style.

If you make a mistake, try again; certainly don't give up and go to the corner to sulk. Keep your face alive but don't paste on a smile. The facial expression usually takes care of itself if you concentrate on performing fully. Also, be polite to your fellow dancers; no one wants a troublemaker.

Sometimes the person giving the audition has a particular body type or "look" in mind. If the auditioners know exactly what kind of dancer they are looking for, there isn't much you can do about it except smile and be a good sport. Don't take it as a personal insult, and remember that you may very well cross paths with the auditioner at a later date, when a dancer of exactly your own type is being sought.

I would recommend those jersey gauchos that were really popular a year or so ago. They are loose enough to dance in, they breathe, and in dark colors add an edge of sophistication. And for a top I would choose a nice tank or tee, that doesn't show too much cleavage, or ride up when you move. Good luck!
