How are we different from the other Dance Teams on campus??
- We don't perform at EMU Athletic Events
- We practice 1 time a week (and near competition time, 2 times a week at the most)
- We compete at Talent Competitions like Star Systems, Fire and Ice, Encore, Applause, Show Stoppers, Nexstar, Star Power, etc.
- We don't have car washes or random fundraisers. We get sponsors for our costumes (Which aren't uniforms), choreographers, and competition fees.
- Our routines are all professionally choreographed.
- We usually only have 2-3 routines a season that we devote all our time to, and then compete them for 2-3 competitions.
- Our season only runs from September until April
(No summer practice for us!).
- We don't have a fight song dance!
- We usually only do jazz, hip hop, and a little bit of pom. :o) No african styles, ballet, tap, or any other kinds of dance.
- We take all kinds of dancers because we have
time to work with everyone!

Attire:
For jazz tryouts, please wear something that you can move freely in. Dance pants/yoga pants or booty shorts are encouraged along with a tight fitting tee or tank. Jazz shoes/foot paws are allowed but not mandatory. For Hip Hop tryouts: wear something comfortable and street or hip hop shoes.
