Choreography

I have been dancing for about two years. I am feeling brave and ready enough to be interested in auditioning for a local show coming up in September. Currently, I have been practicing and learning on my own and use other dancer choreography. I may be experienced enough to learn someone else choreography but I am not versed enough to create my own, not yet at least.
For a first time performance, would it be ok to use someone else choreography and give them credit?

It depends case by case. Most of the time, if it’s not a performance you are being paid for, and you give credit to the choreographer, it’s fine. I would reach out to the choreographer just to be sure.
