Hello everyone! I'm a 2016 high school grad (female) who's taking a gap year this year. I auditioned for MT programs last year, but I wasn't in the right mindset at all honestly compared to this year. Anyway. This year in addition to still doing local shows, I'm hoping to resume vocal lessons and find a dance studio. I'm looking into college audition coaching as well, but that's a whole other fish to fry (tips on that are welcome as well lol).
I haven't regularly taken dance lessons for probably 6 years. I'm not TOTALLY inexperienced, but I wouldn't consider it my strength when it comes to singing, dancing, and acting. That being said, this past July I was in a production of CATS, a notoriously dance-heavy show, as Bombalurina, who although isn't a super-main dancer, is relatively featured. Being in that show truly gave me what I think is invaluable dance experience, through the types of dancing we did, technique, etc. Most of the roughly 6 weeks of rehearsal was dance-centric, almost like a dance camp within a show. When it comes to putting down my training on a resume that I'll give at auditions, how should I approach the dance section? Should I include the studio that I went to for 3 years, but stopped 6 years ago to show that I'm not completely blind to dance? Also how do I approach noting the training I got from doing CATS, if I should even note it? I will of course add the lessons I'll be taking this year. But any thoughts/opinions/advice you could give me on those questions would be really appreciated!
