The projects are determined by the group. Tryouts are open to prospective students of all ages who are accepted by the college and who meet the NAIA eligibility standards for athletic participation. The optimal size for the dance team is 12-14 members. Currently, the squad contains 9 dancers. Practice is four days per week, approximately two hours long, and held in the afternoons.
Practice consists of aerobic conditioning, weight training, stretching and dance practice.
Conditioning continues when the teams are not performing. The schedule is planned by the coach and the squad member. Tryouts Letters will be mailed at the end of March to everyone who is on the Southwestern College mailing list and who is interested in the dance team. Tryouts are held in April of each year-typically following the college's spring break. During tryouts, the students learn and perform a dance.
