Dear Parents and Prospective Dancers,       

Thank you for your interest in the SJMSAA Dance Program. Being chosen as an SJMSAA Dancer should be seen as both an honor and a commitment. Team membership is a privilege and will focus on excellence in academics, leadership, and character in game-day performances and competition. 

Academics should be a priority for all SJMSAA Dancers. A successful dancer should balance schoolwork, a busy dancer schedule and personal responsibilities. Squad members must maintain a 2.0 GPA. However, we expect many of our dancers will exceed this minimum requirement.                    

Being a student-athlete is rewarding. Leadership and positivity are important qualities that each candidate must possess. The SJMSAA board expects dancers to set a positive example for behavior and character not only at school but in the community as well. Whether in a uniform or not, a SJMSAA dancer must exhibit respect, trustworthiness, fairness and good sportsmanship to all those around him or her. In school, respect includes arriving to class on time and being prepared with materials and assignments. As a result, teacher recommendations will be used as one of the indicators in the tryouts and will impact the tryout score. Commitment will be the key to a candidate’s success as a SJMSAA dancer. Dancers will be expected to attend all scheduled practices, games and team activities. Thank you again for your interest in SJMSAA Dance and good luck!

Peyton Blair

SJMSAA Dance Commissioner
