Breaking the Wall Podcast
Hosted by NYC based dancer, teacher, and career coach Brandon Coleman, this podcast provides tools to help pre-professional and early career dancers navigate a professional career in the arts. Breaking the Wall is about demystifying the dance industry and taking real action to make our life long dreams come true. As dancers, we spend hours a day and years of our lives honing our craft, but as we step into our careers we need to ask ourselves what we truly want from this life. How is the dance industry changing? Where do I start my career? How can I enjoy the work I'm doing every day? Through stories of success and lessons learned from some epic failures, we will get honest about what we bring to the dance world and what we want our lives to look like in it.

128. Get Better at Dance Auditions
The truth is, auditions are set up for magic to happen, not necessarily to show someone at their best. If they were, every audition would be multiple days to show growth and consistency. Unfortunately, the time and money to make that happen just doesn’t exist in our world at the moment.
Although they aren’t my favorite pastime, the reality remains that auditions are the barrier between me and the jobs I want most of the time. Therefore, I have to find a way to make them work for me. Luckily, auditioning is just a skill we need to add to our tool belts.
In this episode, Brandon breaks down the three best practices to get better at auditions:
- Go to more auditions
- Use class as a way to practice picking up and performing material quickly
- Find ways to step out of your comfort zone (new classes, environments, experience)
