A great dance audition needs to be one where you are seen a winner, not just because of your performance and technique but also for your presentation; and that means the outfit, shoes, makeup, and accessories.

An audition for a hip-hop role allows you to express your personality, so experiment with different trendy looks. When auditioning for a role, be influenced by the style and the personality of the character but keep it versatile.

For a convention scholarship audition, simple dancewear pieces, rich in color and which do not distract judges from your body is a good choice.

A classical ballet audition will have a sea of black leotards, but if the back of the leotard contains embellishments or has a unique or flattering cut, it can set you apart. 

A  musical  theatre  audition  calls  for vibrant  color  combinations,  a  popular  one being red and black

Dance Audition Makeup and Hair

An excellent rule to stick by is to wear the make-up you would usually wear to class, plus a little extra touch like lipstick or some fake eyelashes. A commercial audition gives you more room to show bolder hair and makeup styles, allow your personality to shine through.

Similarly, for a musical audition, theatrical make up styles that have a more daring lip, and eye makeup palette is deemed necessary.

The hairstyle is also an essential component of the perfect audition look, and like your outfit, it should be appropriate to the role. If it is an audition for a ballet conservatory, a bun will need to be the hairstyle by default.

While tying a bun for most ballet auditions would be essential, adding a braid or twist in the bun would make for a stunning change.

When in doubt, team your audition outfit with simple makeup and an off the face hairdo (better for the makeup to be understated and classy rather than going over the top and then having to tone it down)
