you're a boy right? wear nice dress pants, probably black. and a nice colorful shirt that compliments your skin tone. nice dress shoes. and then have dance clothes, or just clothes you can move in for the dance audition. do your hair, perhaps put on some moisturizer (in regards to the suggestions made by CCM hahah).
good luck

i can share what i've worn before and what i'm wearing this year:
- bold striped button down (express, i believe) with a mid-length taupe velvet a-line skirt (jacob), bright pink suede semi-pointy flats.
-light green button down (old navy! i couldn't believe it) that matched the green ribbon trim on a mid-length flared brown herringbone skirt (ann taylor), brown v-neck sweater over the button down (j.crew), brown peep-toe heels (macys) - i got a lot of comments on the shoes! i don't know why, they were pretty basic.
- navy blue shirt that's really hard to describe (j.crew, it's from the resort collection this year), steel grey pinstriped pants (TARGET, AMAZING FIND), HOPEFULLY a burnt orange matte heel of some sort, but i haven't found it yet!, a headband with a bright navy/orange print (j.crew).
sorry the descriptions are so detailed, i work for j.crew as a personal shopper so i'm used to having to describe stuff full out, but it gives you a good idea! basically, you want to make your best impression. dress to your personal style, but also remember the generation you're auditioning for -- look professional and conservative (skin-wise!), but other than that, show who you are!
a lot of coaches recommend that girls wear heels because it gives your legs a great line, and definitely show off your best features, so if you've got great legs, wear a skirt, etc!
best of luck. pm me if you need any help!

AUDITION ATTIRE: DO NOT wear jeans, cargo pants, belly shirts or sweaters, cocktail or prom dresses; any kind of FLIP FLOPS, athletic shoes (sneakers) clogs or mules.
that's from Otterbein's email they send to everyone who's going to audition, so there's a DO NOT list!

Posted: 1/11/07 at 10:53pmA nice solid color button down blouse and black dress pants or a skirt that comes to at least your knees would be nice. Some nice black dress shoes that are COMFORTABLE too.
"Interesting choice"
