Calming down is probably one of the hardest things to do in a situation like this but it's one of the most important things to do. A way to relax before or during an audition are to breathe slow deep breaths. Hyperventilating in the middle of an audition won't help anyone, so breathing is an extremely important tool to have while auditioning. A way to calm down before in audition is giving yourself a pep talk in the mirror, it sounds ridiculous and probably also looks ridiculous but it can really help boost your confidence and make you feel more prepared.
2. Prepare
Being prepared for an audition is an important part of an audition, make sure to wear clothes that don't get in the way or move around in an uncomfortable way, keep your hair out of the way and know that during this audition you have to leave your comfort zone. Staying in your comfort zone is not an option for aspiring dancers, you have to constantly push yourself to be better. A good idea is to warm up and stretch before the audition as well, many auditions start right away into choreography or across the floor.
3. Don't be too Hard on Yourself
If an audition isn't going well and you know that you aren't going to get the position, don't beat yourself up or start crying, instead try to learn from the experience. Become inspired by the other dancers there and try to enjoy it while it lasts because auditions can be very character developing and I've learned a lot from them.
4. Have Fun
It's important to take auditions seriously but it's also great to remember that it should be an enjoyable experience where you can meet new people, learn new things and just dance. Don't forget to smile, and be yourself, it will be a lot more enjoyable that way.
