Welcome to the 201.7-2018
Quartz Hill Dance Team Tryouts!
This packet will help you understand how the clinics and tryouts work, and what commitments you
will be making if you are chosen for a team. The Quartz Hill Dance e Dance Team is a highly
demanding and expensive sport, girls should be dancing at an Intermediate to Advanced Level. The
team will perform at Football games, some Basketball games, Assembìies and other activities.
However, we do encourage dancers to continue to take dance or remain on team at their current
studio. 0ur belief is that a dancer is built through many sources and that dancers really should be
dancing nearly every day. If your daughter or son is not currently taking jazz,ballet, and tech
classes at a studio they must enroll in Dance PE where they will maintain skills with the heìp of
Dance Team captains. Competition season is in the spring. You will not be able to participate in any
sports for the duration of the Dance Team season. Summer practices are mandatory for all dancers.
This is a huge commitment, so please read through the ENTIRE packet before making the decision
to try out. Application and teacher recommendation forms need to be returned no Iater than Friday,
April2lst.
