If you feel upset and disappointed about casting, it's important to express your emotions rather than keeping them bottled up inside. Talk to a family member or a close friend you trust. Your first impulse may be to blame others, but avoid venting about your teacher or griping about the dancer who got the part you wanted. That'll just breed unproductive bitterness—and it won't make you feel any better!
Dance is all about improving, and even professionals go through hundreds of auditions before landing their dream role. Be persistent, and you'll get there!
If you do not get cast in a featured role, try not to be too upset. We know you worked hard and we really appreciate you try out- auditioning is scary!! All our dancers will be part of the Wizard of Oz experience and you are necessary to having a successful show! Remember that a production is a team effort. Your part—even if it's not the one you wanted—is essential to the show. Directors notice hard workers, so doing a great job in a small role or in your class dance might land you a bigger role in the future.
