Fall Auditions

FALL AUDITIONS

Date and Time: TBD

Location: TBD

$15 application fee (cash or checks made payable to the UConn Dance Team)

Please arrive early for auditions so that you have plenty of time to register and warm-up.

Clothing is to be dark, solid colors for tryouts. No loose-fitting clothes allowed during the tryout, including boot-cut dance pants. Shoes are a personal preference, remember a variety of dance styles will be introduced during the audition. 

Do not wear jewelry! 

Hair and makeup should be game/performance ready.

You do not need to prepare anything for the audition. Combinations will be taught.

Technique Skills - advanced execution of kicks, a variety of leaps, triple pirouettes, fouettes and flexibility (splits, etc). 

Practices

Practices for the 2009-2010 season will begin July 25 in order to prepare for UDA Summer Camp at SCSU August 2-4. These practices, as well as camp are both mandatory, unless otherwise determined by the Head Coach.

After classes begin, practices will be held Sundays Mondays and Wednesdays. Times and locations of practices are TBD.  Practices consist of stretching, technique class, choreography and conditioning.

Additional practices will be scheduled on an as-needed basis in order to prepare for games, special events and public appearances that may come up throughout the school year. Events are sometimes scheduled on the weekends, during winter or spring break and summer vacation.

Extra practices will be scheduled in preparation for UDA College Nationals. Dancers will be given a minimum of two weeks (14 days) of winter/holiday vacation.
