About this ebook
For most dancers, at one stage in your career you will have to attend an audition; whether it is to get into a school or to get that job you've always wanted.
Unlike a performance where you've had the opportunity to practice your steps many times before displaying them to an audience, the audition process can be a completely unfamiliar and nerve wracking experience, requiring you to face new challenges outside of your comfort zone.
- What to wear?
- What companies are out there?
- What can I expect?
- When and how should I audition?
- Where should I stay?
- What should my resume look like?
- How do I find companies to audition for?
Luckily for you, having experienced my fair share of auditions, I have compiled this book to guide you in your ventures. This short volume in the "Aspiring Ballerina's Guide to" series is designed to help ballet dancers identify these challenges and give themselves the best chance of success in an audition.
From resume details, photos and audition DVD's, to choosing the perfect attire, we've got it covered. You'll also find links to many company websites along with other helpful resources to get your started.
Get your copy now, and be one step ahead of the rest!!

When searching for auditions, the Internet is your best friend (apart from Mom, obviously...). There are some great websites dedicated to dance that will list auditions as they come up. These websites can guide you in the right direction.

There may be a specific company or school that you are interested in without an audition listed. In this case you should search their website for contact information and send them an email stating your interest, and request information on auditioning. Don't be afraid to resend an email if you don't get a response within a couple of weeks. Companies often receive hundreds of emails and sometimes yours may be overlooked. Persistence is the key here; remember
