And, yes, the costuming is a big part of the presentation. When we auditioned for a local show, they were so in awe of the costuming that I wasn't sure they were even going to ask us to dance. It was like "no, really, we actually have skills to back up all this beautiful fabric and jewelry." :-) Ack - stoney-faced audiences are the worst. Do they think it's a ballet recital?

My hip movements aren't going to be as impressive without fringe and coins. The costume is a big part of being an entertainer. And I'd just look stupid with a sword on my head if I were wearing a t-shirt and jeans (not to mention, I'd be uncomfortable because they aren't made for dancing).

You'll have to give us a recap about the show. I can't imagine auditioning out of costume - especially for tribal style dance. It helps so much to create the mood. Wouldn't be the same in my sweat pants :) Tue, 13 Feb 2007 18:25:28 GMT http://amberwaves.tribe.net/thread/e3614403-105c-47ae-9be1-3910bd6ba52f#3a8293a1-d7a6-4bf0-92f3-ef08f710c93b Ms.Zuza 2007-02-13T18:25:28Z http://amberwaves.tribe.net/thread/e3614403-105c-47ae-9be1-3910bd6ba52f#3fafe20f-0aee-44f6-beab-a08f2ef4da12 I made it! I was selected to be in the show (next week). But I have to say that auditions were quite interesting. I was one of only two people who attended in costume. I saw some other girls quite obviously laughing at me. But I think once I did my stuff, they realized I was hard-core. :-) And the judge just sat there with a stoney face. Ugh. I really don't like that.

Not a huge deal, but they're giving awards to the top two groups and soloists.
