Please arrive with enough time to warm up on your own before the audition. We will start with some across the floor exercises, including but not limited to: walks, high kicks, jete and pirouettes.

You will have one hour to learn a one-minute routine similar to what we do on the field during home games. You will perform this routine for the judges in small groups, after which the first cut will be made.

If you are invited to stay for the semifinals, you will be performing the routine in smaller groups for the judges. Those being invited to our 2013 training camp will be notified by noon the following day.
