The proper attire for tryouts is fitted t-shirts or leotards and shorts or skirt. There is a judging category on appearance; thus, you should consider clothing that is appropriate and appealing. Absolutely no jewelry.
Depending on the number of participants, we may have a cut after any session. We will announce at the beginning of the session that we will be making a cut at the end.
These sessions are considered mandatory; you may be excused only with the permission of the coach.
