  • Dance Requirements: We do not have a specific list of 鈥渞equirements鈥� that must
    be demonstrated to make the team, but dancers should be technically trained and
    prepared to execute advanced skills. The level of difficulty required throughout the
    year will vary based on the routine needed for our particular performance. Typical
    skills executed by the team may included but are not limited to the following:
    pirouettes (double, triple, quad), a la seconde turns, right and left grande jete leaps,
    chaine open, calypso leap, firebird, switch arabesque, toe touch, precision kicks,
    splits and extensions, etc. It is important to be a versatile dancer with confidence
    and showmanship. We will work on advancing our skill level as a team so many of
    the skills can be acquired and perfected after team selection.
  • Team Selection: Team selection is based on judges scores from the audition
    process. Dancers will be evaluated on their dance technique, showmanship and
    overall impression/potential. The final number of team members will be based on
    the audition cut-off score, and typically 16-25 dancers will make the final cut.
  • Additional Information: Dancers who are selected to be a member of the String of
    Pearls will receive a detailed letter outlining obligations, summer practice dates,
    scholarship information, etc. If you have additional questions or need more
