Who Wants to Dance with Macklemore?
October 1, 2014
The real question is, Who wouldn’t? I got to meet up with and get tips from one of Macklemore’s dancers. Jennie Pegouski recently came off his tour. She’s charismatic, articulate and – of course – an A+ dancer!
Jennie described the tour as a whirlwind of travel and dancing—and she loved every minute. The moment she came home from one show, she turned around and headed off to another. So fully unpacking was never necessary:)
I haven’t been to a dance audition in over seven years, but Jennie has some advice for those of you who are doing this regularly. Her top tip? “Being the best dancer is not what’s most important in an audition. It’s being able to 100% mimic the choreographer.” She went on to explain that details like head and arm placement and capturing the style are imperative for making the cut. I am so thankful that I got a chance to dance with Jennie and get to know her.
