The Jayettes dance team will host tryouts for the 2022- 2023 team. Tryouts are for girls entering or attending an all-girl Catholic High School 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. Full details below.

Mock Tryouts (Grades 7 & Below)

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. The first 20 candidates to register will be able to participate. Please register using this registration form and pay the $25 registration fee via Venmo.
