Laker Dance Team Recruitment Information

Auditions

Our 2025-2026 auditions will follow a hybrid format, with both virtual and in-person components. Auditions begin with a video submission and first round of cuts. Selected dancers will be invited to the in-person audition weekend (April 24-26) where the remainder of their audition will occur over a 3 day period. Day 1 of the in-person audition is similar to a clinic where dancers will review required skills, gameday elements, as well as learning both a Jazz and Hip Hop Combo. An additional round of cuts will be made at the completion of Day 2. Callbacks, interviews and final team placement will be decided on the third day of auditions.
