This page contains tryout information if you're interested in trying out for the 2019-2020 Team! We will be holding tryouts in the Spring of 2019 for the 2019-2020 team. The dates for tryouts are not set yet, but they typically take place in May. We highly recommend that you practice the skills listed below throughout the year.

If you want to receive feedback or have any questions, please contact mhsdanceteamcoach@gmail.com. We do not have a set number of dancers we will take, so don't be afraid to try out!

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!
