<p>Caught off guard by some of the dance auditions that were held in tiny rooms, like UArts - a kick to the chandelier and a trip over junk on the floor still allowed for an acceptance! But be ready to adapt a planned routine if necessary! Everything else in Chicago was wonderful!!! Except the cold! Highly advise prebooking rooms on the Executive floor using Palmer House website and nonrefundable prices - lowest you will get and the included breakfast bar and huge appetizers for everyone in the Executive tower will keep you from having to leave the hotel or mob the Starbucks and 1 closeby restaurant, not to mention the EXPENSIVE dining room!</p>
