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.

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)

Stunting (Baskets, Partner and Group Stunts as appropriate. Tumblers - Stunting optional)

After all contestants have performed, the results will be scored. This will be after the final tryouts are complete and may be posted that day or it may be Monday before you know the results.
