The first thing you need to do is what any other athlete does - look after and nurture your own body. You don't want to spend the night before an audition out drinking with your friends. You want to relax and get a good nights sleep. You may want to consider a relaxing massage the day before.



On a daily basis eat a healthy diet, get proper rest and make time to relax. If you learn meditation and practice it, it will help reduce the stress of every day too. Keep your body in tip top physical shape by continuing with your regular exercise routine. You may want to pay more attention to your physical appearance right before an audition - refresh that hair cut or color.

A lot of choreographers have started out right where you are today, in the chorus line. As dance is such a creative endeavor most choreographers depend on their gut instincts when they pick music, and dancers. They're looking at you from the minute you talk in the door. They want to see how you are interacting with others. How confident do you appear? Have you smiled? How relaxed do you look?

Remember that attending any audition is a good learning experience, they give you the opportunity to learn a lot about yourself. Remember that not being chosen is a part of the audition process and don't take it personally. Take any criticism you receive and turn it into a positive. Instead of resenting the criticism you might receive take it upon yourself to improve yourself. Work on your moves if you need to. You'll want to be ready for your next audition.
