Revealing mistake: Audrey Landers (Val) is nowhere seen in any of the audition formations, but suddenly appears in the final lineup.
Revealing mistake: Throughout the auditions process Val is nowhere to be found, but suddenly appears in the finals and makes the cut. And yellow shorts gal reappears after Zach had eliminated her during the ballet audition.
Revealing mistake: During the first round of auditions. The gal in the yellow shorts does fine. But then suddenly during the final ballet elimination, she can't keep up with the other girls and makes mistakes before Zach kicks her off.
Answer: The problem is she's "too good" of a dancer. The audition is for a chorus line where the dancers have to perform uniformly and as one unified group. She keeps doing the extra moves and gestures, making herself standout from the others, which is exactly what Zach does not want. He even tells her that she's too good of a dancer to be in a chorus line. She's talented as a lead or solo, but she needs this job. She has to continually restrain herself to blend in.
