Also courtesy of the website are some Do's and Don'ts for Auditioning:

THE DO’S 

Arrive looking your best.
“You want to stand out among the competition.” 

Make sure you are physically fit.
“You will need endurance and stamina to get you through the day.” 

Have your hair and makeup COMPLETELY done.
“Image is everything!” 

Wear something that compliments your figure.
“Everyone is different; make sure you highlight your best features.” 

Bring a backup outfit.
“You never know when you’ll need one.” 

Position yourself in line based on your skills.
“If you are better at learning choreography and performing it right away, be one of the first few in line. If not, wait for a later number before you register.” 

Continue dancing if you forget part of the routine.
“It is more impressive if you can recover from a mistake rather than losing your composure.” 

Bring makeup to touch up in between rounds.
“You’re going to sweat!  Be prepared.” 

Test out your audition outfit before the day of auditions.
“Dance full out in your costume to make sure you can kick, turn and drop!” 

Pack a light snack, water and Gatorade.
“Make sure you are hydrated and have enough energy to get you through the day.” 

Get plenty of sleep the night before.
“Rest your body, mind and soul.” 

Be confident when you perform.
“We look for the ‘Diva attitude’ on the court.  Become a Diva.” 

Give it your best shot.
“It’s all about you.  Make sure you focus on doing the best you can, and don’t forget to have fun!”

 THE DON’TS 

Wear a costume, outfit or shoes that prevent you from dancing full out.
“Make sure you TEST your outfit.” 

Psyche yourself out.
“Don’t let nerves get the best of you.  Everyone around you is in the same boat.  Be confident.” 

Give up.
“If you forget a move, keep going.” 

Arrive late.
“To be a HEAT Dancer you must not forget the three P’s – pretty, professional and PUNCTUAL. If you’re LATE, you can’t PARTICIPATE. No exceptions.”

DON'T audition if you cannot commit to the rigorous evening practice and game schedules. "Dedication is expected and rewarded"

After losing LeBron James, the Miami Heat immediately re-signed Chris Bosh to a 5 year max contract.  Now the Heat  have reached an agreement with free-agent forward Luol Deng on a two-year, $20 million deal.  Deng will hold a player option on the 2015-16 season, a source said.

Heat president Pat Riley and Deng’s agent Ron Shade talked on Saturday and completed the deal on Sunday morning.

A former Duke standout,, Deng, 29,  brings the Heat a tough, defensive-minded forward with a versatile offensive game and a team first mentality. 

Between Chicago and Cleveland, Deng averaged 16 points and 5.7 rebounds last season.

The Heat are showing a strong determination to re-shape the roster and still remain competitive in the Eastern Conference.  Expect more offseason mov

As someone who grew up first with an Atari5200 and then a Nintendo I have a special affinity for classic video games.  ARTcade (which is opens this Friday)  will be bringing a completely unique experience to South Florida by combining an Arcade, Art Gallery, and Bar in one great location!  With over 60 classic games such as Gallaga, Qbert, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and Frogger at only .25 cents a play, nostalgic gamers will be quite happy!  Owned by Cabaret South Beach proprietor Edison Farrow and partner Ed DeCaso, the arcade-meets-bar will also showcase local talent as an art gallery.  Combine all of the above with a full liquor bar, $5 dollar craft beers, and NO COVER...Sounds like a winning combination to me!  We're excited about this!

One week into free agency and Miami Heat President Pat Riley has made his first roster moves to show LeBron James why he should stick around. 

Reaching deals with forwards Josh McRoberts (4-Years, $23 Million) and Danny Granger (2 years, $4.2 Million)  is a step in the right direction to improve the Heat's roster, especially the depth of the front court.  Riley is showing James that the Heat will spend what is required, including top dollar on Bosh, to win another title after two in four years together.

Let's see if these moves impress Lebron and how the meeting goes this week.
