Calling all 4th & 5th grade girls!

Tryouts for the GFAA Dance Team are coming up! (First side note: I'm taking name suggestions starting now.)

Auditions will take place over two days next week. We will meet after school in the gym on Monday, September 12th where I will teach the girls a combo (combo = combination: dance lingo for a short, unfinished dance). We will be done by 4:30. On Tuesday, September 13th we will meet in my room (301) right after school to quickly review and then tryout! Auditions will be done in groups of 4 that I will assign. We should again be finished by 4:30.

Miss Becker (music) and I will be the only people watching in the room. We will be looking for:
  • memory: how well you remember the dance
  • technique: how easily you handle the choreography (steps)
  • performance: how well you perform (smile, energy, etc.) 
Second side note: the most important of these three categories by far is performance. If you forget a step or don't do it perfectly, that's ok! I want to see you smiling and having fun. :)

Other important information:

Members of the dance team will be expected to purchase some sort of uniform item for performances in and out of school throughout the year. I promise to keep the cost as low as possible!

Our practices will be every Tuesday after school until 4:30 with the possibility of a few extra practices near to a big performance.

What kind of dancing will we be doing? I hope to do as much as possible! Jazz, Hip Hop, Ballet Folklorico- the most we have time for.

Any more questions? Please do not hesitate to email me at jennifer.king@gpisd.org. Exciting things are happening here at GFAA!
