Dance Team Tryouts!?!?!?

smile, show your personality. Even if you're not a good dancer, if you push yourself during the audition, it will show the coach you have potential. With a positive attitude, anyone on the team would love to have you because they would know that you are easy to work with and are into learning and progressing. If its like cheerleading and dance, i would highly suggest to make a little routine/cheer, i did that for my auditions, it was really short, about 15 seconds, but the coach asked if anyone had any choreography that they wanted to show her, i showed her mine, and i taught it to everyone. I made the team and my coach refined my little dance, and now we use it as a part of our routine! make yourself and stand out as much as possible! good luck!

make sure you stretch and warm up well
present yourself nicely, be friendly, have a good attitude
work on you technique
and have fun

light snack before (if anything)
breathe deeply before try-out
be confident
have a nice "i want this" addititude

all i can say is dont b nurvis and if this is really ur thing then u will do fine .... and if u get cut it is not the end of the world u will always have another chance

SMILE!!!!
