The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville Dance Team is part of the Athletics Department at SIUE.  Members of the Dance Team must be enrolled for a minimum of 12 hours per semester, maintaining a minimum 2.7 GPA to be eligible.  The length of service for a member of the SIUE Competitive Dance Team is one year from the date of selection.  The primary focus of the dance team is competition, specifically at NDA Nationals in Daytona Beach, FL in April.  The team also performs at home basketball games for the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball teams.  We compete in Pom and Lyrical/Contemporary/Jazz, but do perform with other styles of dance at basketball games and at other special appearances. 

We have moved away from actual in-person tryouts and use a recruitment format of having videos submitted for consideration for our team.  Mastery of these skills are what we expect:
·      Turns:  right pirouettes (triple, quad); coupe turns (double, triple) turns in second (7 into a double, 5 into a triple); advanced turn combos
·      Leaps:  right or left leap; leap in second; calypso; turning disc
·      Jumps:  toe touch
·      Flexibility:  splits (right or left); leg extension (right or left)
·      Learn a pom combo
