ABOUT TRYOUTS
There are no automatic carry over team members from the previous dance team season. All current team members must tryout each year to be considered for continuing team membership for the upcoming dance team season.
Tryouts are currently conducted over a period of 3 evenings. Attendance on the first 2 evenings of tryouts is MANDATORY! The first 2 evenings will consist of clinics in which the prospective Cougarettes will learn and practice dance techniques that they must successfully execute during the course of the dance team season. The prospective Cougarettes will also learn a short dance routine, which they will be required to perform on the third evening of tryouts.
Judged tryouts are held on the third evening of the tryout schedule. Each candidate will perform the short dance routine learned during the previous two evenings of tryouts. The selection of the team members for the upcoming year will be based, in part, upon this performance.
