DANCE EXPERIENCE NOT NEEDED.

Again this year, all girls wishing to be on the YOUTH team will NOT have to audition in front of a panel of judges. Instead we are offering a 'Dance Camp' experience for girls interested in being on the Youth Dance Team. The camp will provide an opportunity to see more of what practices and performances are like and what is expect of each of them as well as teach basic dance technique (pom & jazz), some leaps and turns. Any girl wishing to participate on the team must attend both nights, May 4 & 6 and learn the routine taught to them. Also on Thursday night, girls AND parents MUST SIGN the handbook and letter of commitment. The youth team is a competition team just like the older teams and a commitment to the team, practices AND all performances, from each girl is a must.

OPEN DANCE CLASSES

There will be open dance classes offered for all girls trying out for the Varsity, Junior High and Youth teams. These classes will be geared towards each age group and will work on dance technique, to improve current skills and to work on new skills.
