Tryout Info

We will be having workshops next week(July 19 - July 22) in preparation for tryouts. We have lowered the hourly rate in hopes that you will be able to attend multiple classes. Many of you have worked hard this summer on your skills and I am so proud of you for that. We cannot get any better if you do not try to become more flexible and learn new skills.

Please remember to point your toes, smile and do not walk flat footed, stay on your toes at all times. These will be some of the major technical skills expected for this age group. Behavior is another issue with this group. We will not be taking back any student that does not behave during the tryouts.

Also, please do not try out for this team if it is a burden to you. We want students and families who want to be a member of this team and who wants to promote a positive attitude toward students and parents and work together as a team.

Tryouts will be judged by members of the 3 time National Champion University of Tennessee Dance Team members. We will be using their scores to determine our teams and decide who will be selected for the Elite teams.

Please make sure hair is pulled back securely. Do not wear your hair down. Ponytails are fine.

Bring a drink.

Remember to bring your Competition Packet Sign off form.

Bring $10 to pay our guest judges.

We will try to have the teams posted before Monday morning on the windows at our current location.
