GENERAL TRYOUT INFORMATION & F.A.Q.

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO TRYOUTS? Please bring water, snacks, & athletic/dance shoes; bring a layer to wear during talking/presentation portions of the tryout to keep muscles from cooling down; bring a sack lunch/dinner for the longer days.

HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR TRYOUTS? Attend the Audition Prep Clinic on Saturday, March 24 @ 11a-3p. The prep clinic is not mandatory to tryout, though highly suggested as it is structured to help applicants specifically prepare for aspects of the GCU Dance Team Tryout. Please visit http://www.gcudancecamps.com for registration and further details about the clinic.

HOW MANY MEMBERS WILL MAKE THE TEAM? We anticipate taking 26-30 athletes for the 2018-2019 season.

DO VETERAN DANCE TEAM MEMBERS HAVE TO TRYOUT? Yes. We believe it is very important for everyone to tryout each year to avoid complacency. All returning athletes are required to re-audition each year, though they are exempt from the first cut on the first day.

DO YOU HAVE A SEPARATE TRYOUT FOR INCOMING FRESHMEN OR OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS? No. There is only one live tryout opportunity for prospective dancers to audition for the team. Many students travel in from out-of-state to tryout.

MAY MY FAMILY WATCH TRYOUTS? No, tryouts are closed for public viewing to insure the most objective environment for all participants.

I AM TRAVELING FROM OUT OF TOWN. WHERE CAN I STAY? Grand Canyon University Hotel 5115 N. 27th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85017, Phone: 1-844-683-5428 Email: [email protected], Website: http://www.gcuhotel.com

MAY I STILL TRYOUT IF I CANNOT COMPLETE ALL THE SKILLS LISTED? We will ask that you demonstrate each skill to the best of ability, if you are safely able to do so, in order to to assess your current level. Mastery of all skills are not an absolute requirement, but highly suggested.

CAN I TRYOUT BY VIDEO? We are allowing video tryouts for one more year, however video tryouts should only be requested by those who simply have no way to attend the live tryouts on the tryout dates due to immobile commitment (graduation, immediate family wedding, etc.) If selected, video candidates will be placed on the team on a provisional basis and are required to attend the summer rehearsals for further consideration. If video audition is truly your only option, please contact Coach Jacque Genung-Koch at [email protected] by February 15th to discuss the requirements and expectations.

14

WHAT IS THE EXACT SCHOLARSHIP AMOUNT? All team members receive a scholarship contingent on eligibility and university cap. The award amount varies each year and is based upon the program’s overall scholarship budget and the number of veterans/rookies. Dancers receive their award amount in June.

IS IT DIFFICULT TO BALANCE SCHOOL AND DANCE TEAM? Being a collegiate athlete is a large time commitment with high mental and physical demands. As a college dancer, you learn to time manage, prioritize, and maintain responsible communication with your professors and coaches. Our dancers have several support programs in place to be student-athletes successful at both school and dance.

I’M FROM OUT OF STATE. WILL I GET TO GO HOME OVER SCHOOL BREAKS? We do our best to provide students with some time off over school breaks to travel home, though it is not guaranteed. Due to our performance schedule, nationals rehearsals, and athletic schedules that are not public yet for the 2018-19 season, we are not yet able to share what dates will be available for travel home. As GCU Athletics become more successful, we are provided more opportunities to support our school teams!

HOW ARE SQUADS THAT PERFORM AT DIFFERENT EVENTS? The coaching staff will assign all dancers to squads for soccer games, basketball games, and baseball games. Squads are broken up differently depending on the needs of the activity. Squads are usually determined by end of August.

CAN GCU DANCERS ALSO BE ON A PRO TEAM, DANCE COMPANY, OR DANCE MAJOR? Because of the large time commitment and rigorous physical schedule, we do not allow GCU Dancers to simultaneously dance for other teams, companies, or major in dance.

DOES THE GCU DANCE TEAM COMPETE? We have participated in Collegiate Dance Nationals for the past 5 years, and plan to compete again during the 2018-19 season. Depending on the season, we may compete at UDA in Orlando, FL and/or USA in Anaheim, CA. GCU Dance Team competes Division I in the Jazz and Hip Hop categories.

WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE ABOUT THE POLICIES OF THE GCU DANCE TEAM? When the tryout choreography is emailed out, we will attach our updated Policies and Procedures handbook. If you have immediate questions about any policies, procedures, regulations, or rules for GCU Dancers, please contact Coach GK at [email protected]

I, for myself, my heirs, personal representatives or assigns, do hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue The Grand Canyon University, its directors, officers, employees and agents from liability from any and all claims including the negligence of Grand Canyon University, resulting in personal injury, accidents or illnesses (including death), and property loss arising from, but not limited to, participating in activities, classes, observation, and use of facilities, premises, or equipment.

Assumption of Risks: Physical activity, by its very nature, carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY has facilities for and provides for activities such as weight lifting, running, aerobic activities, classes and sporting activities. Some of these involve strenuous exertions of strength using various muscle groups, some involve quick movements involving speed and change of directions, and others involve sustained physical activity which places stress on the cardiovascular system.

The specific risk vary from one activity to another, but the risks range from 1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains to 2) major injuries such as eye injury or loss of sight, joint or back injuries, heart attacks, and concussions to 3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death.

Publicity: I understand that on occasion, GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY takes photographs or makes audio or video tape recording of children and/or adults involved in camp activities. Such photographs and audio/visual recordings may be used in the Grand Canyon university publications, promotional materials and pertinent website. I understand that such contemplated photos will have no addresses or identifications of any sort on such photos and are considered the property of Grand Canyon University and may not be sold or reused. I agree to the use of any such audio or visual recording to be used, distributed as administrators of Grand Canyon University see fit. This consent includes but is not limited to: photographs videotape, and audio recordings

Indemnification and Hold harmless: I also agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD Grand Canyon University and its Board of Directors, HARMLESS from any all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including attorney’s fees brought as a result of my involvement at Grand Canyon University, and to reimburse them for any such expenses incurred.

Severability: The undersigned further expressly agrees that the foregoing waiver and assumption of risks agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of Arizona and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.

Acknowledgement of Understanding: I have read this Waiver and Release of Liability and fully understand in terms, and understand its terms, and understand that I am giving up substantial rights, including my right to sue. I acknowledge that I am signing the agreement freely and voluntarily, and intend by my signature to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law.
