About spring clinics
All eighth grade through college-aged dancers and genders are welcome to attend.
At clinics, we will practice collegiate-level technical skills and elements as well as learn pom and hop hop combinations, which will be used for final audition weekend.
Each clinic will end with a Q&A session, which can include any questions about auditions, being a Sugar Bear or adjusting to life at MSU.
2025-26 Auditions
Join us for auditions on Sunday, May 4 at 3 p.m. in Hammons Student Center.
There will be a $50 total fee (which includes the $35 clinic fee).
