Plant High School Danceros tryout process. The Danceros are a crucial part of promoting school spirit at Plant High School. It is our goal to provide an atmosphere where dancers can foster not only their dance ability, but also other life skills such as responsibility, leadership, and self-discipline. The Danceros are a talented group of dancers who are also leaders on campus. It is our expectation that all future Danceros continue to exude this excellence in all they do, both on and off campus. Hopefully, tryouts will be a positive and energizing experience for you. It is a great way to demonstrate your talents, learn new things, and meet other students on campus with similar interests. As the coaches of the Danceros, we expect 100% dedication, commitment, poise, responsibility, and a lot of sweat during the tryout process and continuing into the season. We wish you the best of luck!Paws Up!Mrs. Allison CastellanoDanceros SponsorTryout Attire (Day 1)Dance Apparel - Fitted dancewear only, no baggy or street clothesDance shoes, Twylas, Foot Undeez, jazz shoes, or hip hop shoesTryout number must be worn at all timesHair secured and pulled back, ponytail, braid, or bunNo gumFinals Attire (Day 2)Black leotard, tank, or fitted topBlack dance shortsTan tights required, mandatory & must be tan.

Dancers must earn their spots for each performance by abiding by team rules and demonstrating their ability to pick up the choreography and style of the routine.Key CommitmentsInitiation DinnerMay 5, 2026 at Palma Ceia Country Club 6:30pm - 9:00pmUDA Master CampMonday June 15 – Thursday June18 at DoubleTree Orlando at SeaWorldNotify Mrs. Castellano by by April 30 if not attendingDancer will be charged full fees if notice is not given by April 30 since rooms will be finalized on this date.Football SeasonAugust - December (Regular Season); January Post Season (if necessary)All Friday nights during season should be reserved for games or practicePregame and halftime performances with bandIncludes home games, away games and band competitionsSchool EventsPerformances at school events (Open House, pep rallies, Panther Prowl, and more)Community PerformancesJunior League Holiday Market (December)TB Buccaneers halftimeVarious charity appearances throughout the seasonUDA Competition(Jan/Feb) for selected dancersAdditional practices required as we get closer to competitionRequired FundraisersPerformance Camp for Jr. Danceros (Fall - usually October/November) - younger dancers will practice & perform with Danceros on the Plant High School fieldShowcase (Spring - date tba)Optional FundraisersRelay for Life (date tba / usually March)Optional opportunities throughout the yearPracticesSummer practices in June prior to UDA to clean dance to perform at UDA camp (will be added to Weebly calendar)School year practices all year (not just during football season):Tuesday & Wednesday: 3:45–5:15 PMThursday: as needed throughout the seasonAdditional practices may be required at coach’s discretionFinancial Overview (Estimated)The Danceros are a 100% family/team-funded group. We are not considered a district sport and therefore do not have county or school funding. Based on revisions made to the current team budget, we estimate the following out-of-pocket dues/expenses for the year. This could increase depending on team needs. Assessments cover things like uniforms, apparel, camps & other team needs. Therefore new member fees are higher because returning dancers already have some items that will be re-used. We understand Danceros can be an expensive financial obligation. We participate in 2 fall fundraisers and one Winter/Spring fundraiser to help offset costs. Profits are split evenly with the dancers that participate. If there are any circumstances where financial obligations cannot be met, please reach out to our sponsor as well as our Finance Chair, immediately.You have 2 options for the dues/financial obligation: (see graphic below)Pay in full upfrontPay in installments over 3 AssessmentsAdditional Required SponsorshipsEach dancer must also secure $400 in sponsorships. This is over and above the standard dues.Due by 7/25/26Can be either raised through donations from local businesses and families, or paid out of pocket if not securedAny amount over $400 is credited to the dancer’s accountEarly season sponsors will be included on the football banner and in the football program.Other Financial Obligations:Throughout the season, dancers and their families may be required to contribute items for various activities/parties. These items may include, but are not limited to, cases of water, food, costume enhancements, etc. The total approximate cost is $100 for functions not covered by the General Team Fund or various assessments. It will also be the responsibility of each Dancero to individually purchase the required tights and jazz shoe (possibly black and tan), and other items deemed necessary for participation in various dances and activities.2026-2027 Parent Volunteer ObligationsDanceros is primarily run by the coaching staff, however a large part of our success can be attributed to the families and parents of each dancer. There are numerous volunteer opportunities throughout the year, and it is expected that parents assist with team activities to maintain our standard of excellence.Mandatory parent volunteer obligations include:Committee Sign Up – May 2026Jr. Dancero Performance Camp – Fall 2026Middle School Dancero Camp-Fall 2026Football Dinners – Fall 2026Football Game Chaperones – Fall 2026Dancero Showcase – Winter or Spring 2027Additional volunteer opportunities will be discussed throughout the season.CHECKLIST OF ITEMS REQUIRED FOR COMPLETING TRYOUT PACKET:1.
