Keep It Consistent...

Prep Class Monologues

Ladies~~~Word of advice for this prep class madness that is so essential in your lives:

Keep It Consistent

What does this mean?

Simple.

The way you present yourself at a prep class is the way you should at the auditions.

We are speaking the neck up!

Of course, the outfit changes but do NOT go to prep class with short hair and then get a full length silky weave for the prelims....

Why?

You must, must, must keep it consistent.  What if the director/choreographer/judge liked you at the prep and you came back w/ a different look?  Would they recognize you?  Would they try to recognize you?  No.  Not with over 100 other girls in the same room.  

Now, would this totally ruin your chances? Not at all BUT it's best to maintain that same image until the day you are CHOSEN.  This is mainly for rookies.  They don't know you; all they know is your first impression which is....an important lasting one.

We advise our clients to be well versed on the dance team.  What is the overall look? How many have long hair as opposed to shoulder length...and if you have shoulder length you better WORK.  How many girls have curly over straight? blonde over burnette or red or highlighted? How many minorities are on the team? etc....that list goes on and on and on.  

The defining line is this~~~keeping your look consistent over the course of the experience is vital unless you are just that FIERCE.  (and don't listen to friends & family because they are bias).  What matters is the opinions of the pros and if you aren't fierce in their eyes; all you are going to be doing is dancing for your friends & family from your living room watching your fav team.  Sorry.  

One thing about ADP is that we keep it Funky.  (and not the literal sense)  We are very straight forward w/ our girls.  

Please keep your look consistent rookies!!! And don't hand in a headshot that doesn't look like you NOW!  All you will do is confuse the judges and director and make it harder on them...nine chances out of ten you will get tossed.

Think about it...

XOXO
