Too many talented people get cut for avoidable reasons. I posted a video about it so don't forget to check it out! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DS2yXtuiFkr/?igsh=N2hpbDF6cDRpM2dv Don’t let this be you 👇 ❌ Ignoring the basics Messy background, bad lighting, or unclear audio? Judges notice immediately. ❌ Overdoing everything More power ≠ better performance. Focus on control, not chaos. ❌ Choosing the wrong song Pick something that fits your voice and range, not just what’s trendy. ❌ No facial expressions or stage presence Talent matters, but so does charisma. Show them who you are. ❌ Not following the instructions Wrong file name, wrong angle, extra talking = instant red flag. ❌ Lack of confidence Even if you’re nervous, don’t look unsure. Confidence sells potential. ✨ Remember: They’re not looking for perfection. They’re looking for potential, discipline, and star quality. If you’re preparing for auditions, save this, share it! Drop a 💫 if you’re auditioning soon, and comment if you want a PART 2 👀🎤

We’re turning practice into a system, not a vibe A lot of you said the same thing: “I know what to train… I just don’t stay consistent.” Motivation isn’t the problem.

Happy New Year, CHICADANCE family! We are building something special here, not just a group of dancers, but a real community of trainees dedicated to growth. I am so proud of the energy you all bring, but now it’s time to focus that energy into a clear plan. I want to hear from YOU. What is your biggest dance goal for this year? And how can we assist you in achieving it? Whether you want to pass an audition, finally nail your isolations, or just feel confident freestyling, we are here to make it happen. But remember: real progress happens when we train smart and stick together. For those seeking a structured path, our 30-Day K-Pop Trainee Challenge is the ideal starting point. It’s tough, but the results speak for themselves. Just look at one of our trainees, @Hannah Motruk from Germany! When Hannah joined us, she was passionate but needed help with her dancing. She committed to the program, leaned on this community for support, and didn't give up. Check out her thoughts on the program and her amazing progress video below! 👇 Seeing trainees like Hannah level up is exactly why we are here. She didn't just wish for it; she trained for it, and the whole community cheered her on. Now, let’s hear your story. Drop a comment below and tell us: 1. Your main goal for this year. 2. Are you joining us in any of the programs? Let’s keep each other accountable and make this our best training year yet!

Song: Pirate - Everglow [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2X-pL06628&list=TLPQMjYxMjIwMjWMz-t4HQ6Q-g&index=10] 🔥 Why this song works for auditions 1. Clean structure = clean evaluation This song has a clear intro, verses, and dynamic changes. That’s exactly what judges want. It allows them to see: - Your control in calmer sections - Your power when the song hits - Whether you understand musicality instead of just copying moves If a song is too chaotic, it hides your weaknesses. This one exposes them, which is good if you’re actually trying to improve. 2. Perfect for basics (bounce, control, angles) This track forces you to focus on: - Bounce and groove (not rushing) - Clean arm lines and angles - Weight transfers and balance 🧠 How you should train with this song (important) Do NOT just learn a choreography and film it once. Train it like this instead: 1. First 2–3 days: mark the choreo slowly and focus on timing + bounce 2. Next 2 days: clean angles, levels, and isolations 3. Last days: full out + facial control (not overacting) If you rush this song, you’re wasting it. 🎯 Audition tip Judges don’t care how many choreos you know. They care if you can fully dance one song with control, confidence, and intention. This song is a mirror. Use it properly. 👇 Your task this week - Practice this song at least 3 times this week - Film yourself once at the end of the week - Rewatch it and identify one thing you need to fix (not ten) If you trained this song before, comment “AGAIN”. If this is your first time, comment “NEW”. Let’s train like real trainees !💯
