Musical auditions are, in a word: insane! Be ready to prepare a comedic monologue, a song, read from the script, sing from the script, and dance dance dance. (Or die!)
Everyone sweated it out by learning the Spanish Panic inbetween their auditions.
I never learned a dance routine in my life. And anyone who has been to a high school dance knows that all you need to know is how to 'grind.' Wrong. There is a lot more to dancing than that raunchy move.
We had three spunky dancers teach us step by step how to panic spanishly. By the end of the night, even the big tough guys were spinning and kicking their legs.
Now, every Sunday from 1-4, the cast gathers onstage to learn different dance moves. Anyone can shake their hips, but learning choreographed moves takes determination.
It's well worth it.
After last night's practice, I came home after three hours of dance...and instead of collapsing on the floor...I learned all the dance moves to Thriller.
There are vids online which help you learn all Mr. Jackson's dance moves. So impress your friends and get a glimpse of what musical dance practices are like:
