Music Tips
Music selection is essential to a great performance so we would advise you to think really carefully about your choices. Remember you’re not only performing for the experts but also for America so you should try to pick music that will resonate in the audition dome and through the TV set!
Think along these lines:
- Top 40 charts …
- Songs that you would hear on the radio …
- Classic hits from the worlds of Rock/Pop/Disco/Funk/Soul/Country/Hip-Hop/Rap/60’s/70’s/80’s/90’s/Dance
- Songs that move you or have extra special meaning to you and your act
- Think about using music in your act in a unique and original way. Why not fuse a style of music to your dance that will be original, entertaining and creative!
DO NOT USE any music or audio from FILMS or TELEVISION.
Please also note that NO lewd or offensive language is allowed in your choices.
A general rule to remember is that the more well known and popular the song, the better it may resonate on the show. We encourage you to pick popular music for at least part of your performance.
If you have any questions about your music, please email:
