Audition Requirements
Dancers must be proficient in lyrical, contemporary, jazz, and modern technique. For auditions, dancers should have their hair in a low slicked back bun or ponytail with light makeup. Dancers should wear a black leotard or black sports bra and shorts/leggings along with the appropriate dance shoes. At auditions, dancers should expect: turns, leaps, combinations across the floor, improv opportunities, and special skill presentations. These special skills can be: headsprings, aerials, kip-ups, leg turns, etc. After a series of cuts, dancers will also have to go through an interview process with e-board.

Other Audition Information
Auditions will be over a course of two days with cuts after day one, day two, and then a final decision a few days following auditions. Auditions will be held the weekend after Campus Life Night each semester at a GVSU on-campus location in the Fieldhouse, Rec Center, or Kelly Turf building. The reason we have auditions is to keep a close-knit team aspect and to keep dancers working together at an advanced skill level.
​
Day 1: Dancers will learn across the floor combinations, turning combinations, a lyrical combination, and a jazz combination. Technical skills that could be included in these combinations include; right leaps, left leaps, center leaps, calypso, disc jumps, pirouettes, second turns, leg turns, and jazz walks. First round of cuts will happen after day 1.
​
Day 2: Dancers will perform both combinations learned on previous day in small groups, have an improv opportunity, a special skills opportunity, and interviews with e-board. Special tricks could be; aerials, headsprings, kip ups, or anything else. Second-round cuts will take place after day 2.
