Tryouts
The University of Oregon Dance Team holds auditions twice a year, once during Spring Term and once during Fall Term.
Our current audition date for the 2010-2011 team is Wednesday, October 6th from 6:30 pm- 9:30 pm in the Student Rec Center at the University of Oregon.
We are looking for dynamic, technical dancers who excel at a variety of styles as we compete Nationally in both jazz and hip-hop and perform during football and basketball seasons.
Technical elements we are looking for include:
* triple+ pirouettes (quadruple+ preferred)
* fouette turns (multiple leg positions)
* level leaps on both sides and center
* switch leaps
* solid stationary leg hold + turn
* solid handstand and/or solid hip-hop stalls
* ability to quickly learn choreography and mimic team style
Dancers will potentially learn three short routines (jazz, hip-hop, football) and should prepare a three to four 8-count solo highlighting their strengths.
Please wear a form-fitting top or crop top and either jazz pants or shorts. You may put on sweats for the hip-hop portion. Please bring shoes appropriate for both styles and come with performance hair and make-up.
Please bring a picture of yourself (will not be returned), a letter of recommendation (from previous coach), and be ready to provide a reference on the audition application.
