what i do to make me not nervous is take deep breaths. i create a mantra in my head that i repeat " i am going to do good" so i stay on the positive side. don't let the nervousness show while you dance. just be strong and i hope you make it!:)

If you are not up to the task nothing will help. If you are good and you are prepared you don't need help. May I suggest rehearsing what you are going to do exactly the same way every day until the performance. Doing everything the same way every time helps your body remember the moves. You probably do not have to think about what you are doing by this point.
Make sure you "get into the zone" as soon as you start your rehearsals and stay in it. Once you master the zone technique, you can perform this routine anywhere anytime and it will produce consistency. The main thing professionals do to be winners whether it is dancers, musicians or golfers is to stay in the zone.
Tell yourself that in the zone you are safe. In the zone everything is simple and effortless. Nothing and no one can affect you while you are in your zone.
Do this and you will tear the house down. All the nervousness will transmogrify into energy and power once you enter the zone. So what you are feeling while you await your turn to perform is not really nerves, it is energy. That energy cannot wait to get out there in the zone and perform. Let your body feel the energy flow through it. Just let your mind be free and a little giddy because you know you will be in the zone soon where there is only effortless perfection.
When you perform, it will go so easily and so perfectly, it will almost be like watching someone else do it. No one can predict what they will like or dislike about it but you and your little zone can gurantee it will be done perfectly. You will even impress yourself.

Well, number one, congrats on the audition! Number two, I usually bring my iPod to auditions and listen to slow songs like "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White T's or "All Good Things (Come to an End)" by Nelly Furtado. But DO NOT listen to fast music, like "Icky Thump" by the White Stripes because they get your heart rate up and can make your performance offbeat and jumpy. Also, even though I'm an actress, I stretch or do yoga moves before going into an audition. But don't pull a muscle! Also, you can try deep breathing. Breathe in through your nose and watch and concentrate on your stomach as it inflates. Then breathe out through your mouth very slowly and watch as your stomach returns to its normal size. One more thing: plan what you will say to the people you are auditioning for ahead of time, such as "Hello, my name is, How are you, Yes sir/ ma'am, etc. I hope I helped you! This stuff always helps me!

Instead of spending time worrying and obsessing about the audition, spend time working through your routine. It will take your mind off the upcoming audition, help you finesse your routine and give you focus.
As to the actual audition, I agree with the other posters. You must appear to be confident and self-assured (even if you don't feel that way.) The best way to achieve this is to walk in with your head high, smile on your face, and shoulders back. After that, just allow yourself to be drawn into the music and routine you've worked so hard to perfect.

you'll always get nervous, when you're in there make yourself lose all inhabitions, focus solely on what you're there to do and do it. It's a mind thing, if you can control your mind you can do anything. I read recently in a women's mag, that to create an alter ego and pretend you're someone else helps alot with getting up in front of ppl. Because you sike yourself out into thinking you are another person with no fear who can do anything. I dunno hope it helps

right when you step on that stage, the judges will start judging you about how you enter and how you leave. when you enter, make a broad stance and smile ...A LOT!
when you leave, feel confident and smile ..again, a lot!!
just pretend you're performing it to your teacher again. think of someone you care about and this song is for him/her :)GOOD LUCK!
