2025 High School Dance Team Prep Clinic
For dancers in grades 6th – 11th
Hosted by Southeast Polk RhythAMetteS Dance Team
We are excited to offer a dance team prep clinic to prepare dancers who plan to audition for a high school dance team. This prep clinic will be open to all prospective dancers in grades 6-11th from any school district or dance studio.
We will focus on teaching skills such as high kicks, pom technique, and general expectations for high school dance teams. This is not meant to be in place of studio dance classes, rather to teach and review skills that are unique to high school dance teams and may not be taught at studios.
For those interested in SEP dance team, we also invite you to stay for a short session to review our specific tryout process and answer any questions that dancers may have.
As part of the prep clinic registration, dancers will receive one free ticket to come and watch our SEP RhythAMetteS spring show the following day – March 9. Unlike the elementary clinic (held the same day), there will not be a prep clinic performance at our show.
Dance Clinic Date & Time: Saturday, March 8, from 9:30 a.m.- 11:30 a.m.
Location: The clinic will be at Southeast Polk High School in the Auxiliary Gym. You can check in at the southwest doors by the swimming pool entrance. There is an elementary clinic going on at the same time, so we will have high school prep clinic participants check in at an alternative door (SW doors by swimming pool).
Cost: $45.00 per student. This includes the clinic and one ticket into our spring show the following day, Sunday March 9, either showtime.
Attire: Dancers should wear black dancewear and any dance shoes (jazz shoes or turners). Please come with your hair pulled back.
Directors: RhythAMetteS coaches, Marianne Peterson, Stacey Bouchard, Angie Underwood, and Becca Templeton will direct the clinic. Members of the award-winning, state, regional, and national champion, Southeast Polk RhythAMetteS dance team will be assisting with the clinic.
Deadline: All registrations must be received by February 25, 2025.
Please contact head coach, Marianne Peterson, with any questions at [email protected] or 515-577-2676.
