Step 1: Write a resume
Put together a professional resume. Include your name and contact information, and for your accompanying head shot, wear a dance outfit appropriate to the part you are auditioning for.

Stick with the black leotard in most cases and avoid any over-the-top outfits. Enhance your face with makeup, but don’t overdo it.

Step 2: Condition yourself
Condition yourself with a regular exercise regimen and a healthy diet. Get plenty of rest the night before the audition.

Step 3: Arrive early
Arrive early and register. Limber up to get your energy flowing.

Step 4: Stand in front
Stand in front if the line is not an assigned order. Be conscious of your posture while you wait.

Think of dancing as a profession, not a hobby.

Step 5: Ask questions
Ask questions to be sure you understand the dance combinations. Watch others and mentally prepare your moves.

Step 6: Smile and convey confidence
Smile pleasantly rather than biting your nails or fidgeting. Exude confidence, controlling your facial expressions if you happen to miss a step.

Step 7: Thank the judges
Thank the judges at the end. This might also inspire some polite responses from them that indicate how they felt about the performance.

Fact: In 2008, Israel set a record for the world’s largest couple’s dance. Over 1,000 people participated.
