I’m auditioning for year 8

Thanks for all the replies! I feel a bit better about auditioning now 😁

Just noticed this year the audition says you had to do a vocal solo? Is this optional or do you have to sing? Not much of a singer myself and I only want to go in for the dancing (mainly ballet)!

Hi everyone! I am thinking of auditioning for the Hammond lower school dance to start in year 8, so I was wondering what type of exercises you do in the ballet and modern classes, what type of solo to prepare, and what they do to test your flexibility? It would also be helpful if you could tell me what kind of ability/grade they expect you to be at so I can see if I am ready for this (it’s a big jump from just dancing for fun a few times a week, but I have been thinking about it for a while). Would you also recommend doing a few extra classes to prepare for the audition? Thanks and sorry this is so long!
