Don’t Blame the Leotard!

In all of my years of sitting behind the table watching hopefuls audition to become a Radio City Rockette I have never heard of anyone getting cut because of the wrong leotard. And yet, I have heard dancers muse about why they did not get a job due to wearing the wrong thing to the audition.

Today's note is DON’T BLAME THE LEOTARD. As long as you present yourself professionally you are free to wear whatever you like. Your singing and dancing should far exceed the color or style of your leo. The real name of the game is “do you got game?” Can you dance? Are you well trained? Are you right for the job? Your hair/make-up/attire choices are all secondary to your skill and ability to perform.

If you don’t blame the leotard chances are you will begin to focus on the other issues surrounding your auditioning skills. Plus, it sounds silly to say “I should have worn red instead of blue”. You can simply say “I wasn’t what they were looking for.”…..and move on.

Don’t Blame the Leotard!
