As the Indiana State University Sparkette Dance Team prepares for 2013-14 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.

Expectations

Team members are required to practice Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3:00 to 5:00. We focus on technique work, physical conditioning, and routines/combination work. The Dance team performs during football games as well as at community and campus events. The Sparkette Dance Team continues thru basketball season and various spring performances/competitions. Basketball season includes pre-game, halftime, time-out performances, Missouri Valley Conference Post season tournaments, selected campus performances and personal appearances. The Sparkette dance team has traveled to Daytona Beach, Florida, for competition in the College Nationals.
