Wear shoes you can move in comfortably that look nice with whatever you’re wearing, no stilts you can’t walk in. High-tops, flats, boots, can all be appropriate, if it goes with your look, isn’t “sloppy” and you can move around the stage.

For the dance portion, bring “real” dance wear if you have it - whether “proper” ballet attire or “jazz” (tights and leggings are both fine), but anything you can move in that is not baggy/sloppy is OK. No pajama bottoms, over-sized sweat shirts, slippers, etc. If you’ve got ballet slippers, jazz or character shoes wear/bring them - most dance auditions start with ballet warm-up. If you can only bring one type of dance shoe, jazz shoes are best (can be used for ballet as well), but moderate-heeled character shoes are OK, too. If you’ve got tap experience and have been told there will be a tap portion, bring those shoes, too. Dress like you’re going to a dance rehearsal and plan to sweat (even if you don’t). Many programs have “simple” dance auditions, but not all. Wear your hair so it doesn’t get in your eyes if you need to do turns or drop your head down.
