Once you know the team’s requirements, choose attire that fits properly, lets you move confidently and feels comfortable enough to perform in.

FOLLOW THE DRESS CODE

□ Required attire or style
□ Required colors, if specified
□ Shoes and tights
□ Jewelry and accessories
□ Any items the team prohibits

TEST THE FULL LOOK

▫ Practice dancing in your audition outfit
▫ Check fit through full range of movement
▫ Make sure shoes feel secure and comfortable
▫ Test your look in photos and videos

COMPLETE YOUR LOOK

Plan the details before audition day.
Once your attire is set, think through the rest of your look so you’re not making last-minute decisions on audition day.

HAIR

Follow any team-specific guidance and choose a style you can maintain throughout the audition. Practice with it ahead of time so you know how it holds up while you move.

MAKEUP

FINISHING DETAILS

Follow the team’s instructions and choose a polished look that still feels like you. Test your makeup under different lighting and after dancing.

Confirm the team’s rules for jewelry, nails, accessories and anything else that completes your audition look. Keep the overall presentation intentional and audition-ready.
