Efficient Dance Team Practice Leads to Effective Performances

Abstract The dance team season, unlike any other high school or collegiate sport, runs year-round. Typically, tryouts are held in the late spring, teams attend camp in early to mid-summer, and the first performance takes place at the first home football game at the end of the summer. This schedule means dance team coaches are eager to schedule efficient and effective practices to prepare for each upcoming event. By implementing the strategies discussed in this column, coaches can organize their practices effectively.
