Competition Team Tryouts- Update
Due to Covid 19 we had a lot of date changes with our Recital dates. This effected our original tryout dates.
- Wednesday May 27th- Fill Out Tryout Registration Form Below- This will be a basic information form and will get you signed up to tryout. You will then need to go to the “Make A Payment” tab on our website, pay the $20, and enter your daughters name and label it as tryout fee.
- Thursday May 28th- We will post tryout combos to learn for each age group. (1 week before tryouts begin) You will have a week to learn all the combos & technique videos associated with your age group. (Competition Teams- Learn Jazz, Ballet and Technique Combos. Premier Teams- Learn Contemporary, Jazz, Ballet and Technique Combos)
- We will then assign a tryout time for everyone that has filled out the tryout form & paid online.
- Tryouts at the studio will be in small groups. We are posting the combos online to learn at home (helping to avoid large group gatherings). Usually our Tryout workshops (to learn the choreography) is packed. Therefore we are filming them to learn at home and then we will have tryouts at the studio in person, in smaller tryout groups. (If you are in a situation where you need to do a virtual tryout please email us at danceillusion5678@gmail.com and we can set that up for you)
- In person Tryouts will be as follows
- Tryouts for our Nationally Ranked Premier Teams (Ages 7 & up) will be on Thursday June 4th. (Starting at 1:00pm and on) Options for those that are “BUSY” with high school sports as well as those that are not.
