All interested dancers should plan to attend both tryout clinics and the audition. The goal of the clinics is to prepare you for auditions. We will go over all of the technical skills that you will be asked to perform and you will be taught an audition routine. This routine is not expected to be perfect, but it will show the coach and captains your athletic ability and how quickly you can learn and perform our choreography.
Attire: All dancers should wear black fitted clothing and jazz shoes (bring sneakers). If you do not currently own jazz shoes, please wear sneakers.
Team Information:
The team practices 3 days a week (M, W, TH) from September until February. Conditioning sessions are held by the captains on Tuesdays. During competition season (Dec.-Feb.), an additional Saturday morning practice is added (for competition team members and alternates).
*Summer conditioning sessions will be held once a week in July and August. Participation in UDA camps or clinics will be determined by the coach.
Competition Team- Team members interested in being a part of the competition team must audition in November. In addition to the selection of competition team members, alternates will be selected to practice with the competition team and travel to competitions. Our team typically competes in the Warde Dance Jam the second Saturday in February and CIAC High School State Dance Championships the third weekend in February. These dates are subject to change and will be announced in the fall. Competition members are required to attend both competitions.
