Things You'll Need:
- Talented people
- Place to practice
- Leadership skills
- Costumes that match (eventually)
-
Step 1
Talk to friends and people you know when you are out at dance clubs. If they have an interest, you should all be together on the dance floor, so you can see if their style fits what you are interested in. Watch other people as well. See if they fit what you envision.
-
Step 2
Approach the manager of the club, or any other business place that might have an interest. Ask if they would be interested in sponsoring a dance team. Dance clubs especially like this idea, as they can have a little free entertainment! Sponsors also help with the cost of dance clothes.
-
Step 3
Find a place where you can hold auditions and practices. Use your favorite dance club when it is closed, if they will allow it. You may be able to use their sound system as well. If they are sponsoring you, make it part of the deal that your teams get a free soda while practicing.
-
Step 4
Arrange for those that are interested to meet at your practice spot. Watch the team members as they practice the arranged routine. Check the order that they are arranged in on the floor. Some may be taller than others, and you want them to have a uniform appearance.
-
Step 5
Trade the positions around until you are happy with the way it appears. Assign this as a permanent spot so that they know where to go every time. If you have men on the team, make sure they are scattered throughout the ladies, not all positioned in one area.
-
Step 6
If your type of dance involves two dancers interacting as a couple, pay attention to who interacts the best with each other. Position them close together and assign them as the couples dancers. Be cautious about this if you have someone on your team that is a couple outside the team. They may think they are great together and not want to cooperate.
