Auditions will consist of a dance that we will teach & rehearse throughout the week as well as individual skills. Please do not get overwhelmed by the list of skills-we will teach & practice these skills throughout the week. By no means do you have to perform each skill perfectly at auditions-we look for potential! 

• The dance will consist of 4-eight counts each of pom, jazz, hip hop, & your own choreography.
• Individual skills that must be shown at auditions:
  • Kicks (right & left)
  • Outside pirouettes on both the right & left:
    • Singles
    • Doubles
    • Triples & more are optional
  • Leaps (right, left, & center)
  • Toe Touch 
  • Splits (right, left, & center)
  • Up to 3 additional skills of choice:
    • These are what you want to highlight to the judges. Examples include but are not limited to: fouettes/a la seconde turns, turning leaps, switch leaps, tumbling, hip hop tricks (head springs, kips, etc.), leg holds, tilts, turning/jumping combinations, etc.
