IN-PERSON WINTER AUDITIONS:

Do YOU want to dance at 🏀🏈 games?

Winter tryouts for the team will take place: 10/13 Location: Manley 87, Time: 6:30-8:00.

We will teach a sideline, field performance, and have a technique section as well as an optional tricks section.

We encourage dancers from all backgrounds to tryout; we will work on skills throughout the year. Our team is made up of a wide array of different dance backgrounds, ranging from Indian dancing to ballet to competitive to hip hop.

We can’t wait to dance with you soon! 💚

Each dancer will submit a video (or videos) that will include an introduction, two sideline routines, and technique skills. A dance solo video can also be included but is optional. Videos must be sent to dartmouthcollegedanceteam@gmail.com by Friday, August 2nd at 11:59pm (EST). We encourage dancers from all backgrounds to tryout; we will work on skills throughout the year.
