Get Priority Boarding
Attend a Prep Class for a chance to skip to the Semi-Final round!
As in years’ past, the team is implementing the Priority Boarding Program. A certificate will be given out at each prep class to a dancer whose abilities have stood out throughout the class. This certificate will allow the selected dancer to bypass the Preliminary audition and go straight to the Semi-Final round.
Prep Class Information
The Prep Classes are voluntary classes designed to help applicants feel more confident at the Flight Crew Cheerleaders auditions. The classes allow potential candidates to learn the different dance styles incorporated into the Flight Crew’s season performances. Taking the classes will not guarantee a spot on the squad but it should help participants at the auditions. The environment is supportive and non-competitive. Some classes will also feature a Q&A session with the Director of the Flight Crew, Denise Garvey.
