Counting down...

I am down to the last week. 4 more days until the audition.

All the work I have done comes down to this, and I still do not feel ready. I have a few papers I need to fill out, a few last minute practices and I need to choreograph a section for the jazz portion that showcases my flexibility.  The actual audition is Saturday and goes from 9 to 5. Check in is at 8:30 and if you make it you have to stay for a meeting afterwards.

They start stretching at 9 and teach all materials then, there is a section of sideline dances  then they go into the actual routines for the day. They make the first cut during this section, whoever is not picking up on choreography fast or does not look like they have what it takes for the team. After they make the first cuts they break for lunch, whoever is left at this point gets an actual audition. 

I am sort of worried about learning a dance that quickly and being able to get the technique down and perfect. 

I heard it is important to dress in tighter form fitting clothes and have hair and makeup done like  it is a major performance. They are looking for someone who can not only dance but has the look and really makes an impression that they want to be there.

I have dance practice tonight and I was planning on meeting up with my friend who tried out for Ohio States team tomorrow to see if she had any pointers for me.

I am very excited to get there and see how I do. But I am also very excited for all this to be over!
