Rock Chalk Dance Tryouts

2008 Tryouts

Tryouts for the 2008-2009 squad were held April 25th, 26th, and 27th, 2008. Info for the 2009 tryouts will not be posted until 2009.

What to Wear at Tryouts

For all three days of tryouts, ladies should wear a sports bra, hot pants/biker shorts, athletic shoes/dance shoes, no jewelry, and your hair should be pulled back out of your face. No hosery or dance tights. Note that these requirements are for safety reasons, and also note that "Overall Image" is a part of your tryout score, so it's in your best interest to look "game-ready."
