Modern Dancers: You will be asked to show us several different types of turns and leaps across the floor as well as your splits anmd other technical skills. Modern Dance Officers from the class will instruct you a combination and give you time to become familiar with it. Smaller groups will take turns performing the combination they have learned in front of the judges.
 

Hip-Hop and Break Dancers: Officers from the hip hop/break dance class will teach you a short routine. You will have time to become familiar with it before breaking into smaller groups and performing in front of the judges. Hip Hop dancers can be asked to free style.

Break Dancers are going to be asked to perform their tricks and skills. 

Helpful tips:

• Wear comfortable clothing, something you can move in. We recommend a sports top and jazz or athletic pants
• Warm-up and stretch! Make sure your muscles are warmed up before the tryout begins
• Take some classes  at a local dance studio to familiarize yourself with the style of dance you are trying out for
