- 1). Take dance classes suited to poms dance teams. These classes include pom technique, lyrical pom technique and lyrical jazz hop. Some poms techniques include the single turn, chaine turn, toe touch and triple pirouette. The different classes will improve your dancing ability and teach you what to expect by becoming a poms dancer for your school.
- 2). Watch current squad members perform to find out what the team is looking for in a poms dancer. Study their dance moves, pay attention to the kind of music they perform to and practice at home.
- 3). Attend your school’s poms summer camp to prepare for fall tryouts. This allows you to meet the other girls on the team and develop a rapport. You will also have the chance to meet with and get to know the coaches.
- 4). Inquire about the tryouts for your school’s poms dance team. Find out about the rules and requirements for the tryouts. Some squads expect you to perform an original dance solo. Prepare for this well ahead of the big day.
- 5). Determine whether you have the discipline to become a poms dancer for your school. It takes time and dedication to be a part of a team. Many squads practice daily and perform each weekend. Some schools require poms members to forgo other sports so they can give the dance team their full cooperation.
- 6). Keep your grades up. Many schools have certain grade point average requirements to be eligible for the team. Additionally, you need to maintain that minimum grade point average through the year to keep your place on the team.
