Tryout Practice time!

[CMU Ballroom Dance Club]

Hello dancers!

To help you prepare for the tryouts on January 11th, there will be
unsupervised practice time during the weekend for you to practice.

Saturday, January 9th--5:30-8 PM
Sunday, January 10th--5:30-8 PM

Both held in the UC activities room (2nd floor by danforth lounge). There
will be partner finding opportunities at each practice, so if you need
someone to dance with, COME.

Why tryout? To further your dancing and to get the most out of lessons! If
you have been taking the bronze class last semester, the tryout will test
your knowledge of the steps and technique taught in those classes-for
this, a review of the videos from each lesson are great practice:

As a reminder, this is how each tryout will work:

Silver Lesson Tryouts: (Dances professionally taught next semester: Samba,
Foxtrot, Cha-Cha, Quickstep, and Viennese Waltz) By trying out for Silver
now, you have the opportunity to gain admission into the Silver lessons
for the ENTIRE spring semester. If you do not make tryouts for a specific
dance at this tryout, you will have an opportunity to tryout again for the
Silver level before each new dance set. You may tryout for as few as 1
dance, however pricing for the Silver lessons will still be $10 more than
Basic membership regardless of how many of the dances you make.

Gold Lesson Tryouts: (Dances professionally taught next semester: Rumba,
Foxtrot, Jive, and Quickstep) -This is for admission into the Gold lessons
for the entire next semester or for select dances -You may tryout for as
few as 1 dance, however pricing for the Gold lessons will still be $20
more than Basic membership regardless of how many of the dances you make.
We Recommend that you tryout if: -You feel proficient in most of the
Bronze and Silver steps, know the rhythm and know the basic techniques of
the dance -You have attended a competition in the Silver level (or above)
-You have attended classes for the dance in the Silver level and feel
confident to move on -You pick up steps quickly and have time to practice
and prepare for each lesson. Notes: Admittance to the Gold level class
implies admittance to the Silver level class of the same dance (applies to
Foxtrot and Quickstep). This way you don't have to do both the Silver AND
Gold tryout for it.

We hope to see you all there!
