We will be looking for Musical Interpretation, Rhythm, Uniqueness and Technique! We require that you have one full phrase of solo dancing and 1 full phrase of couple dancing. The remaining phrases are up to you on how you'd like to execute them. Please read the further requirements below. 

 

You will choose your own music for your choreography. Your routine will need to be 0:30 - 1:00 long with an intro and exit. You will only be given one hour to teach and have your group ready to perform. You will perform WITH your students and we expect nothing less than perfection :)

 

We will be planting dancers with bad technique that you will need to point out and fix... nicely of course!

 

We require that you bring a PROFESSIONAL list of the choreography.

 

If you don't have a partner a "dummy" partner will be provided for you. However, you will be required to teach both lead and follow footwork, positioning, and technique. 

 

This coaching position is only offered to team dancers.

 

PLEASE FILL OUT TRYOUT FORM BY APRIL 25TH
