Audra Griffis: Dancing Queen

I danced my whole life. I started when I was three and then I got into competition dancing. And then that’s where I got the job touring with the Dance Convention.   did that for three years where I got the majority of my training.  And then I had a dance agent out here and I just started auditioning.

But I didn’t have longevity in dance. I knew I didn’t want to be a choreographer and that I didn’t want to wake up at 4:30 and be like, “Okay, what do I do now?”  That’s when I started to transition into acting.

I think dance has really helped me with acting as far as like stage presence and the confidence and being able to carry on conversations with people, so I’m not just like a deer in the headlights.

Dancing tips? I would say to let’s see, to be your own person, to never give up.  There is going to be a hundred no’s, you will get that one yes and don’t let anyone else tell you how you dress, how you dance, how you look is wrong, because there will be that one job for you.
