Nemaha Valley
High School

Tryouts are held at the end of the year around March. Anyone wishing to tryout will learn one full routine (about two minutes long) choreographed and taught by the graduating seniors. This routine will be taught one week prior to tryouts. It will incorporate jazz, pom, kick, and hip hop. A fundamentals session will also be held to teach first time dancers the basics of turns, leaps, and kicks.

A short routine will be taught on the day of tryouts. It will be about eight to twelve 8-counts long.

Each girl will perform both routines in front of a panel of judges in groups of three. They will be judged on appearance, adherence to safety regulations, personality, projection, confidence, eye contact, kicks, leaps, turns, precision of motions, timing/rhythm, and knowledge of sequence.

No more than twelve girls will be selected and they are announced a few hours after tryouts are over.
