If you have spirit for our number one school, HILLVIEW, then this team is for you! The Dance and Cheerleading Spirit Squad is looking for enthusiastic students to join the team. The team will perform at various school events such as basketball games, noon events and rallies.

The Spirit Squad will develop the following skills:

• Dance and cheer technique
• Explore various dance styles (hip-hop, jazz, modern, tap, etc.)
• Basic elements of dance and cheer: body, energy, space and time
• Choreography skills
• Performance skills

The program will run from Tuesday, January 14 - Tuesday, March 11, after a placement audition.  Students will attend one practice and perform in one basketball game a week.

• Practices will be on Tuesdays, 3:15 - 4:15 p.m., in the Fitness Room. For students with Tuesday afternoon conflicts, there will be an alternative practice that will be determined in January (i.e. Wednesday mornings or lunch time).
• Basketball games will vary from week to week. Most students will perform at games on Mondays, but more information will follow. 
• Students will need to attend a placement audition on Wednesday, December 18 from 3:15 - 4:15 p.m. in the Fitness Room. Students should come to audition in athletic clothes with their hair secured.

All students will make the Dance and Cheerleading Spirit Squad. A "Blue" and "White" team will be set up based on experience. All students will have the same opportunities to practice and perform. Everyone makes the team!
