How do I get an audition?

How to get better extension in Ballet for audition?

• I have a company/level placement audition for my dance school and I'm really terrified. She said she is going to look for how many turns we can do, how high our legs are and how high we can jump. My extensions a the biggest issue. I know I am still using my thighs a little but that is getting better. My audition is Sunday and I really want to get moved up, I just need to get my legs higher.

  I have had trouble with the same thing, I asked my teacher and she told me the best thing to do was to pull your leg up, to the front, side, back, where ever you need a higher extension, let go and hold it for as long as you can, and when you can no longer hold it, lower it, SLOWLY. Repeat as many times as possible, keep doing this every day. I know it sounds hard, but if you practice it faithfully, you will notice a difference very quickly! Good Luck!!!
