Very helpful tips! I am about to Audition for Nutcracker. They said we have to dress in only black leotard and pink tights, nothing personal, nothing bold, bright, flourishes, etc. No make up nor jewelry. My date is Aug 11th. I am in the USA and am an Adult returning Ballet Dancer auditioning for the 1st time in my entire dancing life! At the age of 51!! Lol, huh?! Wish me Luck!! :)
Btw, I GOT IN! As Calvary! WhooHoo! Thank you SO much for your tips! I even got leather split sole flats vs using my dirty crappy canvas ones, for it! :)
I have a ballet audition next week at my company for our annual ballet. It’s not a professional company though. Anyone who auditions is guaranteed a role but I want a lead role so I needed this video. Thanks so much Claudia ❤️💜
could you do a video about hyperextended knees? like exercises and ways you've worked with students who have them naturally? i've been looking online but i'd love to hear what you have to say because this is the most informative channel i've found!
Definitely a CV video, a social media for dancers (seems to be almost a visual CV) AND an exam tips video (particularly for RAD vocational levels). Thx!
Aw, darn. I like canvas shoes. This video was very helpful though! Especially the attitude part--I feel like that could also be really valuable in a dance exam.
I have an audition today.. But they do more of contemporary and hip hop so some of the tips don't really work for me.. But it does make me think about what impression I want to give off.. So thank you
I watched this last year before one of my auditions for the Nutcracker ( ballet ) and I was very nervous! But I followed all of these tips and guess what! I PASSED THE AUDITIONS! thank you so much ❤️❤️
Hello Claudia, firstly I just really want to thank you for all those amazing tips. And also if you would do a floor barre, that would help me a lot :). You are awesome, greetings from Czech republic
Hey Claudia! Thanks for these hacks, they will help me a lot! I'm from Portugal and I really love all of your videos! I started ballet late but I'm determined to get to professional and you are inspiring me! Kisses from Portugal 😘😘
Just noticed this was posted on my birthday! Maybe it's for good luck haha. Thank you so much for these tips! I am auditioning soon and these are super helpful. I am excited!
Hello Claudia! Could you do a video on tips for adult beginners? I am 18 and I want to begin ballet again after a long break. strengthening tips to help advance quicker would be great! Also, I am a bit bow-legged so would that affect anything in my ballet training? Thank you.
I always thought wearing satin ribbons on ballet flats would be seen as pretentious, but I completely agree with leather being more professional than canvas. What do you think about the satin ones?
Can you please make a video of how to make a more natural smile for auditions or competitions because I'm not the best at showing are good smile that doesn't look fake. I would really enjoy that!
About the audition frame of mind. Say the instructor asked for a group of 5 girls and you step forward to show the directors you’re up to give whatever you’re thrown at a go even though you’re not very comfortable with the exercise and you make a few mistakes. Should you still step forward to give it a go or not bother because you’ll make a fool of yourself? Thanks Claudia xxxx
Hi Claudia, very nice tips! I didn't know that about the left side, it's very good to know. I'll try to remember all of your advices when I have an audition XD
Sasha Zoumadakis I'm pretty sure it would be the judges left cuz they are the one marking you anyways.. Hope it helps Even though I'm like a week or two late
How do you start with nothing in acting? Like how do you get a resume a headshot and everything you need? And how do you get an acting role and an agent?
AHH I can't believe you replied! Thankyou so much Claudia, I've just found out after my audition I recieved a place at Ballet Theatre UK! Thankyou for your helpful videos!xxx
Bethany O'Connor do you mean foundation? I don't think it should be used... Maybe just bb cream or something like that, which gives you the glow Claudia talks about. But as a general "rule" I think that the only must is the mascara, since it makes you eyes look bigger and more open, therefore your face is more expressive.
Depends on how much support you need. If you have very small breasts you can get away with not wearing a bra, (especially if your leotard is lined) which eliminates the fear of your bra showing. If you really need the support, find a leotard that will cover the “bra area” so that the straps and back won’t show, because they tend to look unprofessional in an audition.
I am auditioning for a summer intensive tomorrow. I just realized that I am doing everything wrong! THANK YOU!
Gamer Daily how did it go???
same! but i’m here 4 years later 😭
@@faeriechai lmao same

Should you still step forward to give it a go or not bother because you’ll make a fool of yourself? Thanks Claudia xxxx
Would you suggest a small sheer skirt to wear for auditions? Or just a leotard?

Thank Claudia, you're amazing! Love and light
Just a question, but when you say where to stand (front left) do you mean stage right (left to the panel) or stage left (right to the panel)☺️
I am wondering the same thing...my left or the judges left🤔
Sasha Zoumadakis I'm pretty sure it would be the judges left cuz they are the one marking you anyways..
Hope it helps
Even though I'm like a week or two late
Yes please! 🙏🏼💖 It would be very helpful if you could do a CV video!🙏🏼✨✨✨

What about satin shoes??
please do a CV tutorial!!!
Rachel Z will do beautiful!
I have my first audition this Saturday and it’s for the nutcracker wish me luck
Do you think makeup is necessary for auditions? (given that your skin is clear?)
Bethany O'Connor do you mean foundation? I don't think it should be used... Maybe just bb cream or something like that, which gives you the glow Claudia talks about. But as a general "rule" I think that the only must is the mascara, since it makes you eyes look bigger and more open, therefore your face is more expressive.
What if you’re Asian/yellow? What do u wear?
Could you do a video on making a CV please xx
Definitely CV video and motivation letters! A video about portfolios👌🏼❤️

So I’m curious 😂 how does rosin help with your leg line?
Is clear lipgloss good for auditions, becuase it’s very neutral
What would I do if I have to pin back my bangs? How do I make that look natural?
What kind of lipstick are you wearing? It's beautiful!
It's very useful!!! Thank you miss Claudia!!!👍👍👍💜💜

I have a question about what to wear in an audition. I’m not sure what to do about the bra department
Linda M good question!!!!
Depends on how much support you need. If you have very small breasts you can get away with not wearing a bra, (especially if your leotard is lined) which eliminates the fear of your bra showing. If you really need the support, find a leotard that will cover the “bra area” so that the straps and back won’t show, because they tend to look unprofessional in an audition.
