The Aitkin All Starz coaching staff is looking to grow the dance team program and we are inviting students in Grades 6-11 to attend our Spring Clinic & Evaluations. Dance experience is not required. We are looking for athletes with a desire to learn, work hard and have fun! At the Spring Clinic, dancers can expect to learn a short routine and work on a variety of dance team skills. Dancers must attend at least two Spring Clinic sessions to be eligible for Evaluations. This also applies to current and former dance team members. The Evaluations are held to assess individual abilities and earn a spot on the Aitkin All Starz winter competition dance team. Dancers will be assigned into groups for evaluations. Each group will be assigned to a specific time slot to perform the Spring Clinic routine and demonstrate a variety of dance skills. All dancers and their parents will receive an email from the coaching staff shortly after evaluations with their individual results and important details on upcoming events.
