Dazzlers FAQs
Who are the Dazzlers?
Dazzlers are the JV Dance/Spirit Team at Dripping Springs High School. Dazzlers perform at Varsity football, JV football, and JV basketball games, community parades, and dance concerts, and compete in one competition during the spring semester. Students entering 9th-12th grade are eligible to be members of the Dazzlers JV dance team. Dazzlers are the only dance team option for Freshmen at DSHS. The JV program allows incoming DSHS students a dance team experience without the rigorous time commitments of a Varsity team.
Who is eligible to audition?
Current 8th graders who will be freshman at DSHS, and current students at DSHS.
What are the summer obligations?
The Dazzlers are required to take a certain amount of hours of outside dance classes during the summer, as well as workout hours. The Director will share ways to register for various 1-2 day workshops and local dance classes offered.
Dazzlers are required to attend summer camp and summer practices. The purpose of the camp is to learn DSHS dance team traditions, stand routines, football choreography, technique, and, most importantly, to bond as a team. Dazzlers will have members from two different middle schools, the high school, and likely new dancers that have recently moved to Dripping Springs. Summer Camp is a great time to make new friends and build team unity.
Where do Dazzlers perform?
Dazzlers perform throughout the school at various events and venues such as Varsity Football Home Pre-game, Varsity Home Game Stand Routines, some Varsity Football Half-times, JV Football games, Homecoming Parade, Winter Dance Concert, Basketball games, Spring competition, Spring Show, and the Spring Dance Concert.
