Same i Will be in highschool in a few months and i want to try out very bad but im SCARED they are going to make fun of me💀

@@jazmynxxxx Hey! I sure hope they don’t make any fun of you because that’s not what dance should be about. Wishing you the best of luck♥️

Jazmyn c. girl fr praying for you , think more positive about it you don’t wanna worry a lot .

@@AngelicaMichelle ty so much! This video helped me preparé more for whats to come:)

😘❤️

juliee carson hey!! I’m not registered in one specific studio myself. I take drop in classes every 2 weeks or so. I personally have to balance an AP curriculum with dance, so I don’t constantly take classes outside of the team!❤️

Manifest it! You got this♥️

Angelica Michelle Oh my gosh, thank you and I will! Tryouts should hopefully be this November/December, and I’ve been practicing for a couple months now on the basic skills.

Michelle Martinez it will be a lot of fun! Enjoy it!let me know how it goes❤️

U got it!

Best of luck to you♥️

Hey Lovely!! I’m going to be posting dance technique content, and since you can’t take classes I recommend you go look at them♥️😘 even for next year!! Lots of love

@@swarnikasingh3306 update i made the team!! ❤️❤️ i’m so happy

Woah! That’s definitely super different but really cool!

Yay

Would you mind to subscribe my channel. I subscribed yours

Going to answer on a video that’s going up today😘

Hey!! So so good. Good luck!

There's always next year. Remember drill team classes are awesome for prepping you to try out!!

How did it go?!!!

Mine are April 13 !! Good luck!!!

@@_TayTayswift Thanks! ❤️

So so happy to hear that!!!🥰❤️

It depends love! I would talk to the school director and focus on what she says they're looking for. What team?

Stretch and build that technique in classes! It's not a skill most can get in a short amount of time, but I've had some friends do it and I know it's possible!

I’m rooting for you! Speak to your director about what you should work on before try outs♥️ u got it!

Wish you the best. Ask me any questions you have :)

I love you Lills😘

same here!! idk if i'll be able to learn all the skills in less than a month and i only have my left splits but not my right. turns and leaps are sooooo difficult and im really trying! tryouts are march 1st-5th alsoo about the birthday thing! you should celebrate prior to camp because you're gonna need to do that in order to be on the team trust me it'll be worth it!

Hey hey! I think if you attend classes and have a relatively solid technique and musicality you could make it. Legs being higher comes with strength of your muscles and flexibility. If you work on both you could get them a bit higher, but not everyone’s leaps are as high. We do practice in summer love and we don’t get any say on the schedule of practices😅 My team starts practicing July 15th ish if that helps. Though it depends on your team

@@AngelicaMichelle update!! i got my russian and basic leap :0 turns are a challenge and im still working on my right split! tryouts are monday-Wednesday 😅

@@madzluv9531 for turns do balance with your passé while hanging on to something and let go as long as you can while being on relevé. Engage your core, and don’t let your butt stick out. Squeeze everything. Shoulders down. Practice spotting exercises. Good luck!!

@@AngelicaMichelle thank you!! :)

Depends. Most teams have u try out a year before u join the team. If you’re a senior right now I’m not sure, but if you’re a Junior maybe you can!

YOU GOT THIS LOVE!

@@AngelicaMichelle Omg thanks so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

@@AngelicaMichelle My tryouts are April 15!! Wish me luck! I’ll update this comment with the results!! Also thanks for all these tips! I love you and your channel so much!! ❤❤❤

There is this one girl from Houston who was in the University of Houston Dance Team. She has a KZfaq channel. (Look up Houston Dance team vlogs and you should find her channel). She makes some videos about technique, etc. Check her out for some Yelp in that área :)

@@AngelicaMichelle Ok thank you 🥰

Gonna answer more in depth in a video that’s going up today♥️

@@AngelicaMichelle Ok thanks ❤️❤️❤️

Flexibility! Go take a technique class or do some online. Point your feet and try to look coordinated even if you’re not super confident in technique yet!

During auditions our directors don’t judge, they’re just in there for support and are always smiling. Look at them! And at the end of the day remember it’s just a dance and you’re meant to enjoy performing it :)

Also this year is the first year my high school is having a drill team so I know the expectations won't be super high, but I still want to do good.

Both!!

Flexibility is sometimes part of the score sheet. Talk to your director about how they score auditions!!

@@AngelicaMichelle I made it!!!

plie a lot for leaps and extend your legs all the way to make sure they're straight. Kicks are something you're usually not expected to be perfect at when you audition! hope this helps. Ask me any questions you have on the comment I left pinned above!

@@AngelicaMichelle thank you so much!! I was able to make the team! And I’ll definitely take that advise.

@@TheSpotw-EmiliePodcast SO PROUD!!! I wish you the best, and I really hope you enjoy the journey that it is to be in drill team❤️

@@AngelicaMichelle thank you! You’re amazing. Wishing you luck on your journey. 🤍

@@TheSpotw-EmiliePodcast thank you beauty!!!

I believe in u!

Some teams are more technical than others. The more experienced you are the better always though!

Hey!!! I hope ya recognize our team ;) I think you should go for it♥️

If you’ve been dancing so long I’m sure you’ve got this♥️

same! i’ve been dancing for 11.5 years but i still don’t think i’ll make it :/ i feel like everyone that’s on the team right now is soooo much better and i’m really nervous for my tryouts.

@@attisynnorton8049 hey! The teams have a range of acceptance, not everyone is always on the same level technique wise, but through the years we all grow in our own ways. You can maje it just work hard!

amelia don’t be nervous!! I believe in you you’ve got this

How did it went?!

best of luck!!

@@AngelicaMichelle I MADE THE TEAM!!!

@@nylas.5195 OMG♥️

No doubt I think you are more prepared than most♥️

Dance is definitely more than just flexibility. It involves technique, quality of movement, and performance quality too. Try to take some dance classes before try outs so you can be as prepared as you can and have a higher chance of making it. Good Luck babe♥️

Answering more in depth in my video today!

Ooop which👀🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@AngelicaMichelle at Johnson bahahah but I’m watching your videos cuz try outs are soon and I’m soo scared cuz this freshman’s are soo good and I’m soo badd bahaha

@@Ryann-cp8sr you’ve got this!

no you do it in groups!

Depends on your experience and the team you’re auditioning for! Some are more technical than others! Speak to your director about it :)

Sponge Bob good question what’s you guys’ name? If the go to CP competitions maybe

@@AngelicaMichelle Highsteppers, we also have like a sister school called reveliers.

Oh my gosh girl I am so sorry. That has never happened on my team. Wish you the best, and I hope you update me on this!!!

@@AngelicaMichelle So the list was not rush printed. I didn't make make Drill Team or The Cheer Team, so I will be dancing a solo (possibly two) and hopefully being part of a high school dance class at the studio I work at If there is enough girls interested in doing it. I don't know if I'm gonna tryout for the drill team next year cuz my parents didn't want me trying out again this year. However with the looks of things right now My school's Drill team is not going to do as well as they have been the last few years. The coach is honestly just trying to win state the way our rivals did and not the way we have before. She is just hungry for the state title and is gonna hurt her girls in the process, my(although not very nice) hope is that she's gonna decide to stop coaching once the senoirs this year graduate.

@@emiliestewart2742 that’s okay girl, if I’m all honest with you, dancing a studio will always help u grow much more as a dancer than drill team♥️ and You always have my channel for fun dance content. Remember life always gives us what we need even if we don’t understand why.

First of, ask if you can actually be in the varsity team during your freshman year. Most teams don't allow that because try outs happen the year previous to your joining! If you haave any questions at all, ask me on the comment I left pinned above!!

Hey! Gonna be answering your question in depth in my video today♥️

Hey! I Think It depends on each team! Which team are you trying to try out for?

@@AngelicaMichelle Its a drill team in Houston Texas

@@swarnikasingh8208 Its only one dance team and it's a drill team. They have a hiphop dance part in the competitions they go to.

@@alexandrajimenez6686 what team love?

@@AngelicaMichelle The Lariettes and Belles drill team at George Ranch High School

Good luck bestie!

@@AngelicaMichelle I made varsity thank you sm!!🥹🙏🏽❤️

Depends on your school! Mine you simply have to try again next year

You got this!!

Did you make it??

yes i did

@@valeriaaguirre5969 Congrats!!🎉 Got any tips for me with leaps? Tryouts is April 17 🙈

@@lachellee Hii there, I made it to the JV team last week. One of my biggest tips is going to your schools dance studio practices whenever they offer, before school or after school times, and if u are able to go there should be some of the other more experienced dancers that you can ask to help you on your skills if u need it, trust me it really helps! Another thing is recording yourself practicing the skills to help you see the mistakes you are doing and keep rerecording to see any improvements. So overall, just practicing your skills on a daily basis will be really helpful. I wish you the best of luck!! You will make it!!

I’m a group! At least in my team❤️

@@AngelicaMichelle Oki! Thank youuu I hope it’s the same for my school

Hi!!! I am actually the social president so yes for sure. My best friend is captain too. Ask me any questions on the comment I left pinned above. I want to make an even more in depth video for this!

Going to respond to this in a video today♥️

Congratulations!!!

Nope! That would be cheerleading hahaha.

@@AngelicaMichelle my team i am trying out for has tumbling and most dance teams do

@Riah Reagan that’s cool! Just Not common in the Houston area :)

Hey!! Welcome❤️

Dance teams exist nation wide. From what I understand, the traditional drill team originated in Texas and is only a thing in Texas :)

Might depend on the team but it’s a specific skill scored in auditions for my team so just ask!
