The judges usually have you do turns in second, fouettes, & a double/triple pirouette for turns. toetouch, axle, and maybe a stag leap for jumps. a test where they call out arm movements(like a high V, low V, etc.) in a random order to see how sharp they are and if you know them.this test is called a motions test. for leaps, switch leaps, side leaps, and sodasha leaps. left, right, & maybe a middle split. then they will teach you a short dance team style combo. like 1 or 2 days before try-outs and have you perform the dance at try-outs to see how quickly you can pick up choreography and how well you can do their style. the dance usually has the above skills listed in it. for practice, you could definitely try to get your splits. then have a friend come over and say the motions test for you. you could even get practice space at your dance studio and practice those skills. you should also consider getting a private lesson with your dance teacher and have him/her critique you on the skills and teach them to you and make you better at them. good luck!

they play a little bit of a song. That song you have to dance too. Sometimes they ask you to do certain move and poses.

yeah thats a great question

Actully, they teach you a dance and then just really study what they are telling you and then just really practice ALL NIGHT LONG
but yeah, it's awesome to become someone else, for a change. ?

cool! i use to be on dance team youll prob have to learn a short rutine and do leaps and turns just practice your leaps and turns and you should do great

You'll be taught a short dance; the dance is usually like 30 seconds long. You'll also be tested on your leaps and your pirouttes (Both right and left). Also your splits (to show how flexible you are) (Both right and left) and maybe toe touches.

Good Luck. Remeber to smile!!!! =D
