WHEN ARE TRYOUTS? We have two sets of tryouts spring and fall. In the spring, you are auditioning to make the winter team and to participate in summer training. The tryouts in October will be to place you on a specific team (example: Varsity Kick and JV Jazz, JV both, Varsity both or any combo, fitting the dancers ability in each style). Spring tryouts are in April. Those who tryout in the spring will be placed on the team but not have a placement until Winter tryouts.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO AUDITION? Starting 2024-2025 season we will be taking 7th-12th graders both girls & boys.

WHATS A MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCER OPTIONS? We offer a program with our B-Squad that is open to7th-8th graders that want a smaller time commitment, but still want to be apart of EDT.  8th graders will have the option to compete in kick as well, if they desire to do so. 

HOW ARE TEAMS DECIDED? Teams are decided on the final day of tryouts in October. Dancers will be divided into different teams based on their tryout. Dancers can also be placed on a Varsity and a JV team for different styles, like Varsity Kick for one and JV jazz for another.

HOW IS TRYOUTS SCORED? Tryouts are scored by a panel of judges, including the coaches & outside judges from the dance world. Dancers go through stations for skills, combos and routines. Dancers will then have all scores taken into account for the results of their final tryout.

DOES EVERYONE MAKE THE TEAM? No, we do cut. But, we always encourage dancers to spend more time at studio and come back to us when they are more ready. If dancers would like additional information on how to make the team or places to train at, feel free to email the Coaches. 

HOW DOES A PARENT GET INVOLVED IN BOOSTER CLUB? Message our Booster Club, we love having parents involved as much as possible!

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE OF STYLES? High Kick is a style of dance focusing on precision, kicks, and formations. While jazz focus a lot of musicality and technique.

HOW IS DANCE TEAM JUDGED? Head over to the JAM judges page to find score sheets and information.

WHAT FUNDRAISERS DOES EDT DO? EDT does a lot of fundraisers throughout the year to help offset costs, like costumes, transportations, coaches and more. Our big fundraisers would be our Fall Mini Clinic and our Egg My Yard. We also do Gerten fundraisers, dinners at Chipotle, Davanni's, & more.
