> When a dance audition is scheduled and you're not sure what to bring, what to wear, or how to prepare gear-wise before the day.

## Quick read

Read the audition notice first: it usually specifies dress code, shoe requirements, and hair. If it doesn't, the safe default is clean form-fitting class attire in a neutral color plus current class shoes (not new ones). Don't buy new gear for an audition: break-in shoes hurt and distract. Pack a small bag with shoes, water, a snack, and hair supplies. Arrive 10-15 minutes early so the dancer can warm up and settle before they're called in.

## Do this now

- Define the exact purchase constraint first.
- Shortlist two practical buying paths.
- Capture return, shipping, and fit risk before checkout.

## Mistakes to skip

- Don't assume generic category advice beats studio or fitter requirements.
- Don't ignore return-policy constraints under urgency.
