Final audition information
At the final auditions, dancers may wear whatever makes them comfortable. However, we do ask that all dancers are "performance ready." Their hair should be well kept and out of their face with no fly-aways, makeup should be polished and stage-ready, and clothes should be clean and show school spirit. Dancers will be given their tryout numbers throughout the week of auditions. They must have this number visible on their left hip during auditions. Most dancers in the past have made a number card that they pin to their shorts/costume.
Dancers will be scored on their performance, facials, confidence, poise, and technique. 20% of their score comes from their teacher evaluation.
