"Can you do something cute instead of hip-hop?" Sudden freestyle requests
I spent six whole months perfecting a super dark, powerful, girl-crush hip-hop routine to show off my sharpest lines. But during the audition, the head scout looked at my face and said, "Your visuals lean more towards a soft, pure concept. Do you have a cute, bright girl group choreo you can show us right now?" 😭 I didn't prepare anything, so I had to wing a freestyle to an older song. Lesson learned: always prepare contrasting concepts because you never know what they'll ask for.
That is such a classic audition trap, but it actually means the judges saw great potential in your 'visuals' to fit a specific debut lineup! 🌟 Next time, keeping a quick, refreshing TWS or ILLIT-style routine in your back pocket will save your life.
