ok, dance team tryouts are coming up. Before I ask my question,let me explain:
What they are going to do is teach us a dance, and we are gonna get in groups of 3 & perform it, and then the jusdges choose. I'm planning to sign up, and Have wanted to be on dance team since I was in 2nd grade. So my question is: Do you have any ideas on how I can prepare for tryouts before they come? |

I'm not sure.
At my school, everyone who tries out makes the squad or team or whatever u call it. But keep practicing, and don't mess up like being nervous or something. |

buy/rent some of those dance tapes [the ones where they teach you routines], and watch them. it'll help you prep your memorization and your dancing ability.
also, try to stretch/get flexible. |

Obviously, you need to be in shape and be able to dance well but, you probably already know that (or should). Other than that, make sure that you show them that you have a great attitude, not only towards the coaches/judges but towards the other girls as well. Concentrate as hard as you can on learning the dance that they are teaching you and do your best. If you're good enough to make the team, then you should make it but if you are borderline, your attitude and cooperation can go a long way.

okay iwhen i tried out for my cheerleading tryouts, it was basically the same. i say that b4 the try-outs that u gotta stretch every day and nite, because as a dnacer, u gotta be flexible. go over your basic dance moves, like leaps, turns, and all that stuff that u dancers do. work out; do cardio, strength training, but not too much since u wanna be in tip-top shape at try-outs, not tired! the nite b4, don't go out, eat a gooood dinner and get a good nite's sleep (even if the try-outs are the next nite, or even the part when u learn the dance). so when u wake up u won't be tired and u'll be able to focus better. at try-outs: listen to the instructor and give it all u got. the people who chose the dancers ARE lookin at u. keep your head up and give it your best posture. dance your heart out and give 110%! never give up. u should do fine. kick ass!

what kind of dance team is it?......... like swing dance? hiphop dance? drill team? step team? i dont know which one... anyways to get prepared... wherever or whenever you fall, always smile --- no angry/sad face. they will think you give up easily for the team. and give some cool moves before they come to you. or do a nice, flexible split ^__^

BE CONFIDENT! just do your best and go into try outs with the thought of making the team. i guess just find some existing dance routines and try and see how good you are at repeating the steps and etc. G`luck.
