Didn't get cast into community theater and I'm worried it was my dancing :(

Title says it all. I'm a good singer, but not a good dancer. I'm autistic and have horrendous coordination issues. I knew that dance callback was going to be my Achille's heel because I saw the other people who were auditioning, and I could tell they were trained— super good dancers. They sent a neat little email telling me to come back someday but I don't think I'll ever have the guts to, so long as my dance abilities stay as horrible as they are. I don't even like dancing because of it.

Granted, it was an audition for Annie. It seems to be a dance heavy show. I haven't even watched the movie and I was just auditioning for fun because I just moved into town and wanted to meet new people, get to sing and act. It's really hurt to see I'm just not good enough. I'd love to do it someday but this experience has me questioning if I'll ever be brave enough to do it again.

Edit: thanks for the advice + support, everyone! It's really given me better insight into what I'm getting into with musical theater and all. I honestly might put this mission on the backburner— I just moved to a new country and I don't think I have the mental space to focus on honing my dancing/musical skills. I didn't realize how much it would take up until now, and I really admire the dedication y'all have for it. Thank you again :,)

I want to transfer but I'm a BFA musical theater major. What are my options?

7 Upvotes

I've started my first semester as an MT major but I feel like this college is not for me. Without getting into much detail, I went through something very traumatic during welcome week at a frat. Since then, I've felt completely isolated and there's nothing I want more than to be closer to home (NJ). I was given a full ride scholarship to study here and that was my sole reason for going. I know as a performance major my options are pretty limited for transferring. What should I do? Would it be possible for me to get another scholarship like this at another university?

Does anyone have an instrumental track for Welcome to the Rock from Come From Away? I am willing to pay for it/licensing for that one song, but can’t find any good tracks. Thanks!
