Jayettes Announce 2018-19 Team
The Jesuit Jayettes announce the 44 dancers invited to join the team for the 2018–2019 academic year. The team was picked from a group of around sixty girls who attended the tryout clinic held on April 6th in the Jesuit gymnasium.
At the clinic Jayettes-hopefuls practiced technical elements and learned the dance that would be performed at tryouts the following day. Sixty-two girls tried out for the team in front of a panel of four judges whose dance experience varies from being a high school dance team coach to an American All-Star staff member to Nicholls State University dance team members. At tryouts the girls were judged on across-the-floor technical elements that the Jayettes execute in a majority of their routines, high kicks and splits, as well as the choreography that they learned at the clinic the previous day.
Forty-four dancers are invited to join the Jayettes for the next academic year:
