"The people there seem nice," my best friend wiped a thin layer of sweat from her forehead. We walked out the doors of the dance company we just auditioned to work for. We had been doing that a lot lately, auditioning for dance companies and studios. It's hard to find work in dance, especially in L.A.
"I like it." I simply stated. My best friend Lauren caught my lie and raised her eyebrows. "I don't know, they're all the same. Their programs don't really have any purpose. You don't perform, you don't teach, you kinda just show up."
"Well they're better than a boring desk job," she quickly changed the topic, "Don't think about it too much Eleanor. Tonight's our night to let loose."
"Yeah, I guess."
Lauren pulled my hand toward her car and we climbed in. "Come on, lets go get ready for the concert."
...
I walked in the apartment and straight to my room to change into my outfit for the night. I walked out in my floral romper at the same time Lauren walked out in her leather skirt and a crop top. We both gravitated towards the bathroom to do our hair and makeup. I left my blonde hair straight and put a white fedora on top of it while Lauren layered her brown locks with curls. We stood side by side in front of the mirror admiring each others outfits.
"We look hella fresh," Lauren gave me a high five.
"Of course we do," I laughed.
We left the apartment and drove to the venue. The whole area was covered in posters of 5 Seconds of Summer advertising this concert. Of course, there were tons of crazed fans roaming the area having pre-concert meltdowns and all that stuff. I am very excited for this concert though. I love 5SOS a lot. I like to think I'd keep it cool if I met them, but I'm not so sure. I tried to push aside the jitters of excitement by thinking over a dance routine that Lauren and I are working on. I was doing small movements to help me remember the moves. Across the room, I caught the eyes of a man staring at me.
Slightly creeped out and confused, I stopped all of my movements and tried to ignore his gaze. I talked to Lauren so I could forget about him, until he began walking towards us. As he reached us Lauren and I turned around uncomfortably to acknowledge his presence.
"Hello," he offered us the simple greeting.
"Hi" Lauren said awkwardly.
"My name is Adam Wilkes, and I am the tour manager for 5 Seconds of Summer."
Lauren and I responded at the same time, "Oh wow."
He continued, "I noticed that you were doing a dance routine..?" he half questioned.
"Umm yeah," where is he going with this?
"Well 5SOS is having another tour starting in mid-October, and I would like them to have a crew of backup dancers and I would like you to audition," he handed me a flyer. "I hope to see you there" and with that he was gone.
"WHAT WAS THAT" Lauren was freaking out.
"WE CAN BE BACKUP DANCERS FOR 5SOS" then I was freaking out.
"Wait wait wait, what does the flyer say?" I held it up and we both leaned in to read it.
The flyer read:
5 Seconds of Summer backup dancer audition
Please come prepared with 6 eight-counts of your own.
Tryouts start at 8:30 AM on September 4th
Good luck!
"Let's do this."
