As the Indiana State University Sparkette Dance Team prepares for 2012-13 auditions, we are proud of our rich traditions and look forward to welcoming the new team members. We are a performance group as well as ambassadors of the university. We are held to high standards. It takes a talented, dedicated young woman to become a Sparkette. For more information about auditions, please visit our Workshop Information page that details the entire day and what requirements are as far as attire and attendance.
