We encourage everyone to tryout regardless of dance background. Over the years many girls have made the team and been very successful without any dance experience coming in. However there will be some technical skills we are looking for at tryouts and this list will give you an idea. Keep in mind that just because you can do some of the skills does not mean you will automatically make that team:

Double Turn Knowledge of turns in second Chaine Turns Jete Leap Toe Touch Strong pom motions Strong kick technique A Great Attitutde |
*Varsity (includes, not limited to):

tryout routines
Coming in early March
Videos of dances and combos will be posted in the BAND App prior to tryouts. There will be some things kids are expected to know when they come in that day. We will go over things and answer questions, but the more dancers know, the better.
