Open to ALL Males and Females attending SJHHS 2013-2014

  • When: May 31, 2013 for all grade levels
  • Where: Small gym
  • Time: Advanced Registration starts at 3:00. Audition will begin at 3:15.
  • Intermediate and Beginning/Intermediate Registration starts at 5:15. Audition will begin at 5:30.

Can I tryout for both levels? Yes you can. If you come try advanced and it's too challenging or you feel that you didn't do your best, you may stay and audition for intermediate as well and vice versa.

Please fill out an application and attach a current photo to the form. You can pick up an application from the dance board in the dance hall or you can print it out from our dance page calendar (go to June 7, it's an attachment) or you can email me and I will send you the form.

The day of auditions:

  1. Arrive early. You need to warm up and stretch on your own before we start.
  2. Bring your completed application and photo.
  3. Wear ALL black dance attire. Any color shoes that you can turn in. Pull hair back. Remember, judges can tell how disciplined you are as a dancer by how you present yourself. Some NO-NO tips: loose bra straps showing, runned down tights, very low cut tops, tube tops, boxers hanging out, big skate shoes, etc. You get the idea.
  4. Learn an across the floor combo which will include but not limited to, a variety of turns (pirouettes, chaine, pique, al a seconde, fouette, floats, attitude, around the world), a variety of flexibility components (such as kicks, extensions, splits, leg holds, leg hold turns, illusions, pitch), a variety of jumps (such as grand jetes, jumps in second, single stag, switch leaps, switch seconds, firebird).
  5. Optional: Perform specialties such as pointe, tap, break, pop, lock, gymnastics/acro (more than cartwheels and round offs), any special tricks you can do. This is your time to show off who you are as a dancer. You are welcome to bring a couple of 8's of a combo to showcase your style. No music necessary. Any genre o.k. ONLY 2 counts of 8 max please!!!
  6. Results will be posted on our dance website the next day or two after auditions. This audition is for level placement. Please do your best! =)

If you are unable to attend your audition date due to a school activity or an out of state transfer, please email me ASAP so that arrangements can be made. Your make up auditions needs to be made before the actual audition day.

Good Luck To All The Dancers!
