The Carolina Girls Dance Team is open to all full-time students in good academic standing at the University of South Carolina. Auditions are held each year at the end of the spring semester, at which dancers are required to perform various technical sequences, as well as three routines in the styles of jazz, pom and hip-hop. Selections for the team are determined by judges' scores based on technique, performance and collegiate image.

Being a Carolina Girl is a significant commitment and following academic studies, it should be a top priority for every team member. Carolina Girls are representatives of the University and are expected to uphold its values and standards accordingly. Dancers are also required to maintain strong technical skills and stay extremely fit. The team practices 3-4 times per week, attends a weekly ballet class and has additional workouts twice a week. The season begins in early August and ends after nationals in April.
