Today’s episode is all about AUDITIONS! Listen in to hear about my experiences with auditions from my very first ballet audition when I was 12 years old until my final audition as Principal in Jubilee! eighteen years later.

 I discuss what went down in a showgirl show audition, what dancers went through during the process of auditions and the lessons I learned years after I left the stage. I also added my favorite audition stories from past guests about embarrassing moments, how determination can get you the job and cattle calls. Enjoy!

Mentioned on the show


As promised at the end of this episode, I will be giving away something sparkly to the first person to correctly answer which butt is mine in the photo above. Send me your guess by email to hello [at] Showgirls [dot] life.
