Becoming a Highstepper
For young women wishing to become a Highstepper in the future, Director Smith suggests training in dance and
gymnastics. The junior high drill team program, (The McCullough Junior High Highland Girls), under the direction of
Michelle Foldetta, is also an excellent way to prepare for the Highstepper program.
Tryouts are held each spring on The Woodlands High School campus. Prior to the tryout there is a mini-camp to help the
dancers with the choreography and technique. Please contact Director Smith early in the school year for information on
key dates and requirements.
Costs
The initial cost of participation in the Highsteppers program can be high depending on the amount of practice items
purchased and whether or not 'new' or 'used' items are ordered. Veteran team members usually spend less than $100.00.
Camp is $250.00 but is only required for first year members.
Time Commitment
The Highstepper schedule is year-round and requires commitment from each member. Dancers can expect daily practice
of 2 - 3 hours including class time and after-school. After-school practice usually runs from approximately 3:15 pm to 5:15
pm during the duration of football season and from January through March during competition season. Additionally, the
team holds practice daily in the 2 to 3 weeks prior to the start of the school year.
