Coaches Evaluation (15 points)

Coaches will evaluate dancers commitment, attitude and reliability based upon their previous time on the team.  New dancers will be evaluated on the same during the week of tryouts.  If needed, coaches may reach out to former teachers for input.

What To Wear To Clinics/Tryouts

CLINICS: T-shirt or tank top, shorts/leggings, tennis shoes/jazz shoes/dance turners (no one will be allowed to participate without shoes), no jewelry.

TRYOUTS: a plain black T-shirt* or tank top, black shorts/leggings, tennis shoes/jazz shoes/dance turners, no jewelry.

* You MUST NOT wear any attire which would indicate that you have been a part of a pom/dance squad, have attended any dance camps, classes or other related events.

*Please wear clothes that are fitted so coaches and judges can best see your lines and movements.

*Hair must be secured and off of your face for the entire duration of clinics and tryouts, failure to do so may lead to a deduction on your score.

*Inability to do any one dance element does not necessarily mean you will not be able to make the team.  We will be looking for potential in dance ability. 

There is no set number for the team. The coaches will determine at tryouts the makeup of the team based on the execution of the above skills.  

Members who make the team are not guaranteed to perform in all dances or to be placed in competition routines. Competition routine placements will be made at the discretion of the coaches.
