2024-2025 DANCE TEAM AUDITIONS

April 27, 2024 | Georgia Southern RAC | 9:30am (Check-in @ 9:15am)
 

The Georgia Southern University Dance Team performs in jazz, pom and hip-hop styles throughout the year. All three styles are very different, but require expertise in each category for game performances and in competition. Dancers will be judged on their technique, as well as their ability to quickly learn and retain choreography, while still performing with high energy.
