Tryouts are held each year at the end of March/beginning of April and are open to incoming 6th, 7th and 8th graders. The tryout process consists of a 3 day clinic in which the girls will learn a short dance and be introduced to several technical elements and hip hop tricks. On tryout day, the girls will perform the clinic dance in small groups as well as technical elements they have learned individually. Please note many girls do not know the elements when they come into try-outs. Please do not let this be a deterrent to trying out!
Tryout packets can be dropped off at Arlington Middle School or brought to the mandatory parent interest meeting on Monday, April 2nd at 6:00pm in the AMS cafe.
Some of the elements the girls will be evaluate on are as follows:
splits (right, left and middle)
right pirouettes (single, double or triple)
kicks
toe touch
headstand
c jump
optional extra hip hop trick
optional extra pom technique
