Lexi & Megan: We made it through the first
round and it was exciting to be in there and
in that room you feel the history of it. It's
nerve-wracking but incredible all at the same
time.
Megan: Of course I'm a little nervous and
as the other groups are going, I'm just thinking
about all the corrections. I try to listen
to the music so I don't necessarily have to
count but I can really be with the musicians.
And I also try to visualize myself doing it
and doing it on the stage and what I would
feel like, so it helps my expression and everything
too.
Lauren: I was really excited when I heard
my number. I was getting a little worried
because everyone, they wait, "Is the next
number mine? Is the next number mine?" That
just gives you that extra boost of confidence
like maybe I can do the next round and the
next round but I'm so excited to just get
back and start dancing again. I think we're
going to actually learn more of a jazz combination
so I'm so excited to just show my personality
and my love of dance because that's really
what I'm here for.
When I'm learning the choreography I'm focusing
on the details so I can get the exact precision
where every thing's supposed to be, where
the head direction's supposed to be, the angles.
I try to get as many details as I can and
then when I watch the other people, I try
to pick out the details and practice in my
head so I know what's coming next.
Kavila: It feels good to have made it through
the first round. I'm super excited. It's just
I am so nervous as well but making it through
the first round gives me a little boost of
confidence and go in and let go of some of
the nerves. It's like I got that first thing
out of the way and now I can go in and attack
more.
Megan: For me, whenever I audition for anything,
the group right before me, when I know I'm
going to be next I get a little antsy and
trying to remember everything and remember
my number. It's a lot happening all at once.
Then I just breathe and do it and hope for
the best.
Lauren: Definitely really focus because there's
so much precision and so many precise movements
that if you don't get down, they're probably
going to cut you. I definitely try to stay
really focused and remember everything I'm
taught. I'm also trying to stay really calm
because I don't want my mind to blank on me
when I'm actually performing for them and
I'm overall just reminding myself that I feel
so lucky to be here and I'm so grateful to
be here.
