About
University of Minnesota Dance Team Clinics offer dance sessions where participants work on foundational technique and learn routines focused on musicality, connection, movement, and performance. Depending on the specific clinic, dancers may learn jazz, pom, and lyrical combos, take part in a two-day dance intensive, work on skills, and get a preview of the game day experience. Some clinics focus on technique drills for pirouettes and a la seconds, leaps and jumps, variations of turn speed, spots, and arm/leg placement, and unique connection and entry/exit of skills, and College Prep Clinic classes include Jazz, Lyrical, and Pom styles.
