Do Dancers Ever Really Get Rejected At Auditions?

January 1st, 2012 Comments off

dancersDancers don’t get every single job that they want to. There can be a number of reasons for this from their dancing not being up to scratch to having the wrong image or personality. But are they really being rejected?

Of course not and seeing it that way can ruin your prospects of a successful career! A successful dancer knows that sometimes they are just not right for the part and they decided to go for someone else. Many times it won’t even be about dancing skill.

An intelligent dancer knows that while one person wouldn’t pick them for that job, another person may well have seen them as perfect for that job and it is all in a matter of opinion. They know that they will succeed many times if they continue to dance well.

Treating unsuccessful auditions as rejections can destroy a dancer’s soul and damage their self-worth. Dance is a competitive industry by nature and dancers will be unsuccessful some of the time. You can be the best dancer in the room and still not get picked. Read more…

Why Are Dancers Rejected At Auditions & Castings?

October 15th, 2011 Comments off

dancerAnytime you go to an audition one of only two things can happen: you’ll either get the part or you won’t. Okay so there’s a third option as well and you can be put on standby or get a call-back.

But for the most part it’s quite straight forward. So there’ll always be people who will be very happy and are successful at an audition. Then there’s the flip side of not getting the job which pretty much every dancer has or will experience at some point.

So what are the reasons for a dancer getting rejected? A dancer may get rejected because they didn’t pick up the choreography well enough, their dancing style wasn’t what the client was after, their image wasn’t what the judges had in mind or because they’re too short or their hair is the wrong colour or length.

A dancer may be passed over for the part for something as small as getting one step wrong in the choreography, not smiling enough, having the wrong colour t-shirt, having bad pictures.

Every time a dancer goes to an audition, whoever will be deciding the outcome of the audition has an idea in their head of what type of dancers they are looking for from the audition.

Every different person has a different idea of what they want. Sometimes the same choreographer will have a different idea of what they want from day to day depending on the project. Read more…
