Important Details
We are transitioning our formally scheduled on-campus Prep Clinic for March 21st into an Online Prep Clinic. We appreciate your understanding for our need to alter the formatting, but think you’ll be pleased with the benefits this option will create for you – including having extended time with the instructional material! We truly want our prospective athletes to feel supported and prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally for the upcoming tryout. Here are some of the great things you can expect to obtain from this online format:
Video of instruction and demonstration of:
- Four original style combos: Jazz, Hip Hop, Pom, and Contemporary
- Center turns combo
- Across floor technique sequence
- Trick preps and finishes as asked to perform at our tryout for Aerials, Headsprings, Leg-hold turns
- Game Day Rallying, including in-game examples and veteran member tips
- List of 12 sample interview questions
You have the (highly encouraged) option to submit a video of yourself performing some or all the choreography and skills, rallying, and answering mock interview question(s), due by March 25th, for feedback from GCU Dance Team coaching staff!
You may also submit video/photo of your planned audition attire/look for feedback from our veteran team members – whom would love to share their tryout tips with you!
You will also receive:
- Tryouts scoring rubrics for dance technique and skills/tricks
- Top box of rubric for performance of style routines
- Example images of tryout attire for each portion of the tryout
- Scoring rubric for all portions of the fitness assessment
- Tips for Tryouts Day: “Before You Arrive”, “At the Audition”, “During the Interview”
- List of Bonus Skills you may do to earn bonus points
- Coaching staff will be awarding a “1st Cut By-Pass” to the top dancers who submit video and who are registered applicants for the 2020 GCU Dance Team Tryout.
All video and materials will be emailed to your listed email address on March 21st. Additionally, if you would like some individual time to talk with head dance team coach, Coach GK, we can schedule a phone call or FaceTime call for the week prior to tryouts. We hope you are excited about this opportunity to prepare yourself for dance team tryouts!
