Tryouts are to be set up by those interested in dance. Contact Head Coach Jamie Ourecky-Sand for more information.
The following are requirements that participants trying out for the Dance Team will need to perform during their tryout.
- Eight (8) 8-counts will be taught and performed during the tryout
- Perform a leap to the right and the left
- Perform a toe touch
- Perform a double pirouette turn on right and left foot
- Perform own choreography of eight (8) 8-counts (have prepared ahead of time)
The Dance tryout will take place on Saturday, March 31st. Please arrive no later than 12:30 pm at the new Haddix Recreation & Athletic Center. You will have until 12:45 pm to check in and fill out paper work. For your paperwork you will need to know your jazz shoe size, jazz boot size, Varsity bodysuit size, Varsity dance top size and dance pant size. You will then be able to stretch and warm up until 1:00 pm as you will be expected to perform a toe touch, a right and left leap and a double pirouette turn on both your right and left legs. From 1:00 - 2:00 pm a dance will be taught to all participants and the actual tryout will therefore begin at 2:00 pm. Also during the tryout you will be asked to perform 8 - 8 counts of your own dance with music that you provide (This does not have to be your own choreography but should include technique/style that features your strengths). Extra points can be gained during the tryout by performing triple pirouettes, switch leaps, Russian (center) leaps, alasecondes or fouettes (these can be shown when you perform your own choreography). All participants MUST be wearing plain black shorts and a plain white top (tank top or t-shirt).
