Audition Process:
Registration begins at 11:30 and the audition will start 20 minutes later. Do not be late. Call if you have trouble finding the gym (303) 868-4840. Turn in your Registration form and pay $20 Registration fee. Plan on the auditions lasting approximately 3-4 hrs. Make sure that you bring plenty of water and a snack to keep your energy level up.

Dance:
The first part of the audition is an "Across the Floor" technical segment which consists of a combination, usually four 8-counts in length, with left and right kicks, a right split leap, a pirouette turn and simple choreography.

The next segment of the preliminaries consists of a short dance combination. This short routine will have the same technical elements as the "Across the Floor" segment (kicks, turns, leaps, etc.) plus additional technique and some jazz and funk moves. This routine will usually be performed in groups. You may also learn 1-2 short Sideline Dances.

Interview will consist of a very short private interview with the judges.

HipHop Dance Team will have a slightly different tryout process.

Cheer & Stunts:
Three Jumps (One must be a Toe-Touch). Perform a short Cheer & Sideline that will be taught at the tryout (Required for females, optional for Stunt Guys). Tumbling - Standing and Running Tumbling Pass (if you tumble). Stunting (Baskets, Partner and Group Stunts as appropriate. Tumblers - Stunting optional).

After all contestants have performed, the results will be given. This will be after the final tryouts are complete. It may be Sunday or Monday before you know the results.
