  • Procedure. Sometimes, the choreographer will teach small groups a short routine consisting of four basic steps. The choreographer is looking for limberness, flexibility, competence in following directions, memory of the steps, coordination, and grace.
     
  • Effort is everything. Usually, not everyone in a musical is required to dance. But you must still be a trouper and give it your best shot. If you are stubborn, you risk making the director think that you will be trouble and balk at every direction.
     
  • Smile. Sometimes those smiles look fake but even a fake smile is better than a frown. If you smile, it draws attention from your dancing and makes the director be less critical (sometimes).
