depends on what type of team it is. im on a football/parade dance team; we need double pirouettes, split leaps, splits, n eye-high kicks. if its a competition team, u need all the above plus fouettes, second-position leaps, toe touches, axel turns, n calypsos. talk to the director or a current member to make sure u know what to expect

Lol my friend says they see what you can do by your self, like freestyle. Also the entire team watches you to make shure you can push back peer pressure.

Ps, my friend is on that team

Practice leaps front, switch leaps, Russians(straddle), make sure you have your right and left splits, at least a triple pirouette on the right and the left,Penches and Tilts
My Dance Team is competitive(UDA), This is just the basics

lol well i tried out and they take you three at a time, and everybody watches you. we had to perform a dance we learned the night before(there were 24 counts of freestyle), kick in a kickline with the other 2 people in our group, show our splits, and do leaps across the floor, and do a toe touch.

for my tryouts, we learned a simple across the floor which allowed you to put your own style into it and then a routine. good luck and just be yourself and smile no matter what :]
