May 8 2025: Dance Team Roster Draft Picks

Episode Summary

Is it tryouts or auditions? Speaking of names...what goes on a team warmup: last name, first, name, full name, or nickname? Then in honor of the recent NFL draft, we toss around this hypothetical: what if dance teams had positions? And which positions should a coach draft first? After exploring possible skill positions, we look at the *personality* positions on a team, and which ones might be higher draft priorities. And on that tryouts questionnaire, how should you answer the famous question, "Would you accept a position on JV if offered?" Bonus stories: Norm's and Paige's nicknames, and that one time Norm witnessed a pom team dancer perform part of their routine on a table at a family restaurant.
