DRESS: please wear all black to tryouts, and have your hair up in a ponytail or bun. Bring whatever shoes you normally wear for jazz/pom. If you want to change into tennis shoes for hip hop you are welcome to do that as well.
WHAT TO BRING:
dance shoes
tennis shoes
water bottle
a healthy snack (fruit, veggies, granola bars, etc)
a positive attitude and open mind :)
TECHNIQUE that will be judged:
kicks
leaps (right, left, center)
pirouettes
turns in second/fouettes
calypsos
toe touches
herkeys
CHOREOGRAPHY:
We will also be teaching a jazz combo, pom combo, and hip hop combo. Each will be a few 8 counts.
You'll be judged on technique, picking up choreography, execution of choreography and strength of motion, showmanship (facials/how much you smile) and overall fit for the DSHA dance team.
No matter your experience level, come to tryouts with an open mind, ready to do your best, HAVE FUN, and dance with a great group of girls.
Don't hesitate to ask questions or ask for clarification. Also my old teammate/good friend Kimberly will be helping me judge tryouts. She is very talented and very nice and is excited to dance with you all.
If you have any questions leading up to tryouts, please don't hesitate to ask me! I'll leave my email and phone number below in case you need to reach out.
Keep spreading the word about tryouts! I am so excited to dance with you all.
See you soon!
