Welcome to my channel lovely!
Want to know how I became an ASU Stingette as an untrained dancer? Watch this! By untrained, I mean that I did not grow up in a professional dance studio or have strong foundational knowledge of proper dance technique.
This video is purposed to inspire anyone who believes they have to be a super technical dancer to be on a college dance team. NOT TRUE! Through my experience, you will learn about what it takes to get on that level. I give you 12 tips that can help you do the same!

This is such an amazing video!! I’d love to have a video about how you physically trained your body to be ready for dance auditions. Like the type of workouts and stretches and everything you did to prepare your body physically for the intensity of the audition.

Great tips fashoo! I can definitely relate when it comes to joining a collegiate team with trained dancers. Faking it until you make it and GOD is what pulled me through for J-settes as well! Literally was not prepared, but God said do your part and I got the rest.

What i have learned from years of dancing and auditions is … Technique is great to have (it definitely help with arm placement and feet positioning) …. But what get you in the door is a positive attitude and presence ! and im so happy you said that because that allow judges to truly see your full potential !! And thats 9/10 what they’re looking for the most , which is “ POTENTIAL” ‼️ And another thing i loved that you said was “KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TRYING OUT FOR” ‼️ You have to do your research and study the style and execution of these teams ! Because they’re not looking for Beyonce they’re looking for Destiny Child ‼️ They want to see if you can fit in a unit and not stand out being all wrong lol .

Do you have any advice for girls that are transitioning from drill team to auxiliary teams? I had just began dancing when I started high school and now I’m in my senior year and the current captain of my drill team ( the Troyanns), I’m a little nervous about the change in dance style.

@YasmineWhitehurst 2 жыл бұрын

Yes that is so beautiful! I will definitely make a video about leadership tips! For the time being, definitely start to take on tasks that can showcase your leadership. Making up choreo, being a role model, leading stretches/exercises, communicating with all the members, being a peacemaker, always dance full out and put in extra effort! I hope this helps.

Hi Yas. I have a question, I’ve never danced on a dance team before, but I am currently doing some online classes and I plan to try out in college. I know when I get there I’ll have to pay for things by myself, so is it possible to work and dance while being in college?
