Every single week (if I’m being honest, almost every day), I’m connecting with clients who are going through the audition process. The dancers I work with are at every stage in their careers. I’m working with 17-year-olds going through it for the first time, dancers in their mid-20s trying to transition to a new company or a better-paying company, and even seasoned pros at the top of their careers looking for a more supportive environment to work in.

There’s certainly some variation in the different stages of life and career, but there’s also a big constant: the audition process sucks. It’s long, it’s stressful, and it’s full of uncertainty. This process leaves you questioning your body, your ability, your potential, and just about every decision you’ve made in your life.
