Thank you for your interest in The Royals Dance Line
We are excited that you are considering our team, whether you are a current student, transfer student or beginning your college career. This page contains information about the team and the expectations of the dancers. The Royals Band Dance Line is a collegiate dance team program that is “on the rise” and has generated a great deal of recognition. The members of our team pride themselves on passion, dedication, and heart for our university and dance. If you love to dance and want to be part of a TEAM in every sense of the word, The Royals Band Dance Line is a tremendous opportunity.
Schedule and Expectation
Practices: During the academic year, we will typically practice twice a week. We begin practices the first week after auditions in the fall and conclude before spring finals. Practices may increase based on performance bookings and events on campus. The dance line is required to return to campus in August for band camp rehearsal and remain on campus until school ends. Each dancer will receive a contract to review and sign before officially joining the team. The Royals Band Dance Line falls into accordance with the university calendar which includes time off during holidays and breaks.
Attendance: Attendance is mandatory. Rehearsal times are set and are consistent throughout the semester. It is expected that you plan your schedule accordingly. If you will be absent you must let someone in leadership know 24 hours ahead of time (ex. head coach, captain, manager). Attendance is mandatory for all team functions and practices whether performing or not and you must be on time. Academic Expectations: Academics is the top priority for The Royals Dance Line. All Dance Line members must maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA to be part of the team. Failure to do so will result in suspension. The Dance Line is expected to be the next priority of every member (i.e. over jobs or other extra-curricular activities).
Approximate Monetary Costs/Fundraising: The Royals Band Dance Line is funded by The University of the Arts, although, there are required items to be purchased by each member. The required items will be covered during tryouts on the day of the informational and interviews.
