This might be the most important module in the entire course.
Savannah's Intro Video Goes Here
You are trying to become an ambassador for a university, at the largest scale. No coach is going to entertain gross behavior โ cussing, inappropriate dancing, thirst traps, bikini photos. Social media is the first thing coaches look at. It's the center of our society now, and if what they find isn't clean, they will move right past you.
This Is You

Coach-ReadyToggle each one on as you confirm it. Be honest โ I'd rather you catch this now than a coach catch it later.
Side by side, the difference is obvious. The goal isn't to erase your personality โ it's knowing which version of it belongs on a public, searchable account.
Every team has its own specific rules, but no program in the country lets you do "whatever you want." You're an ambassador of a university, and coaches are picturing exactly that when they look at your accounts โ can they trust you in that role, publicly, every single day?
They're not looking for perfection or for you to erase your personality. They're looking for judgment. Consistency between who you are in the studio and who you are online. A coach who's about to hand you a uniform with their school's name across it needs to believe you understand what that means before you ever step on the floor.
Think about it from their side for a second. This isn't just about one dancer โ it's about how the entire program gets perceived. A single screenshot of one girl acting inappropriately in uniform, or with a school's name anywhere near her account, can become a headache for the whole athletic department. Coaches know this. It's exactly why they check before they ever call your name at auditions, and exactly why some of them are checking again right before the team is finalized.
Extra awareness matters most in the weeks and months directly before auditions โ that's exactly when coaches are actively looking. But the real move isn't a last-minute cleanup right before tryouts. It's building an account you'd be comfortable with a coach seeing at any point, so there's nothing to scramble to fix when it actually counts.
This is also where the two worlds from Module Two connect. If you're being recruited, coaches may be watching your accounts for months before you ever fill out an application. If you're walking into a straight audition, they're likely searching your name the moment they see it on an audition list. Either way โ the account is already doing the talking before you get the chance to.
I'll personally go through your accounts and flag anything that could hurt you with a coach โ before they ever see it. I'm not guessing at what coaches look for. When I was on my college team, this was actually part of what I did for my own coach โ researching and noting dancers' social media before decisions got made. I know exactly what gets flagged, because I was the one flagging it. This isn't something to be embarrassed about. I'd rather catch it now.
