The Jayettes dance team will host tryouts for the 2021-2022 team. Tryouts are for girls entering or attending an all-girl Catholic HighSchool from 8th to 12th grade as well as daughters of former Jayettes and Jesuit alumni. Tryouts will consist of two judging rounds. At the end of round 1, girls will be informed if they are invited to participate in round 2.

We are also introducing Mock Tryouts for dancers entering grades 7 and below. They will be invited to participate in our actual tryout process to gain experience and insight on how a High School tryout operates. Girls will take part in both rounds of auditions and receive valuable feedback from judges. Please indicate on the registration form if you will be participating in the Mock Tryout.
