<p>What schools are you looking at auditioning for? The intensity in audition varies greatly from school to school, and not necessarily based on the quality of the dance program at the school. For example, the easiest dance audition I had by FAR was at Point Park, and they have a phenomenal dance program. Each program likes to see different things, so if you could give as an idea of some schools specifically people could easily chime in with their experience.</p>

<p>The more practice and classes you can take, the better. Basic ballet technique will help you in all elements of dance, so I’d say ballet would be the number one class to take if you had only one choice. If you cannot afford to take dance outside of school, then taking dance inside school is your best option and you are smart to be taking full advantage of it being offered to you.</p>
