We had our clinic for dance team tues,wed, and thursday. we learned a dance to baby im a star that was 2 min. and 15 sec long. we tryed out friday and had to do one of the splits, split leap, double pirouette, and a 8 cnt of kicks. plus the routine we learned tues, wed, and thurs. i ended up not making the team and i wanted to know what i did wrong. we had the clinic right after school until 5:30 and then i went straight to my dance studio, along w just about everyone else trying out, to practice what we had learned and to get videotaped to see how we look and such. I had my right and left splits, my leap was split but not quite inverted yet, my right kick goes to my ear but left is only about 180 degrees, and i did a clean double. i read all of the articles about flexibility and strength but do you know anything that would help me? thanks ok so i have been dancing for 9 years. i take dance at the best dance school in my state. last year i took my regular dance classes on mon, tues, and thursday. but every other day of the week including weekends i took private or group lessons for dance team prep.

What you need to do is really show her you are serious about thing. Take action. Get to know her on a first name basis and show her that you are capable and are worthy of consideration. How much experience do you have? Do you have any taped performances from your past teams? Show her your material. Let your skills speak for themselves. Hope this is helpful.

The only problem is is that one of the coaches is the director of a cheer company and usually just picks people from her company. I really want to get in. What should I do?
