Day 2: Ballet & Tap Auditions

Jordan felt good about her solo preview performance for the judges. Now on to her first 2 auditions. These will be scored. First they will be taught a ballet combination, they will get a few minutes to practice it & then they call their number & they perform it for the judges.  The next hour will be the same thing only in tap.
