Be sure to see the below link for details on if you make the team!

 

What to expect at tryouts:

 

You will learn a Pom routine and a Kick sequence. Everyone will learn the same “part” so you can

practice with anyone while trying out. Dancers will tryout in groups of two or three and all groups will be chosen by the coaches.

 

Dancers will be evaluated by a panel of judges from outside of Freedom.

 

You will be scored on the pom routine, kick sequence and technique.

 

• What to Bring: Completed forms, water bottle, and a healthy lunch.

• Workshop Attendance: Workshop attendance is highly recommended. If you can't make the workshop, please contact coach Sheila at Freedomdanceteam@gmail.com

• What to wear to practices: Tank top or plain t-shirt, shorts or leggings, tennis shoes or dance shoes. Please have hair pulled back in a nice tight bun with a headband so there is no hair in your face. No jewelry!

• What to wear on the day of try-outs: Black top and black leggings. You can not wear any dance team apparel! Must have plain tops - no writing -  tennis shoes or dance shoes. Hair must be pulled back in a bun and you can not wear any jewelry.

• If you make the team, you will need to attend Just For Kix camp June 27th - June 30th. Please mark this on your calendar!

• How many spots are available?: All returning members MUST re-try-out. No one is “guaranteed” a spot on the team. Our team consists of as many girls as show potential to be a successful and contributing member. There is not a set number.

• What if I don’t make it? Some dancers don’t make it the first time they try-out. If you’re serious about being on the Freedom Dance Team, then practice throughout the year and tryout again! Practice makes perfect!

• Is there a set number of athletes per class? No, there is no set number of athletes in ANY class.

• What if I've never taken dance classes or been in the Freedom Dance program? Many girls make the team who have never had prior dance experience. Don't let that stop you from trying out.

• What are the coaches looking for in potential members?  We are looking for girls who are passionate about dancing, passionate about teamwork and passionate about competing. We are looking for coachable athletes who can hear constructive criticism and then make the necessary changes. We are looking for girls who understand TEAM above SELF... who are willing to stand by their word and honor their promises...who will uphold the values and character traits of the Freedom Dance Team.
