Hi! I'm new to the forums. So, I started belly dancing in fall 2011 when I found out my college has a club. About a year ago, I auditioned to join our performance troupe and made it after only 3 months of learning! So to join our troupe, you have to re-audition once a year in the fall. Due to a family emergency, I missed the fall one and have to re-audition this month. The spring audition is usually harder to get accepted because our annual show is in a month and you really have to bring your A game.
So for my solo, I really want to wow them. My dance style is very cabaret. However I don't dance to traditional music. I perform all my solos set to Korean pop (Kpop) music, which is usually very bouncy and cutesy. Big cheesy smiles. That's what I'm known for doing. But I'm trying to change that. I've picked a few songs that are very slow and sensual sounding. Nothing like I've ever done. My question is, should I go for it? Or should I stick to the style I'm used to, and what people expect from me? What if I can't pull it off?
