Hey everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying the rain - I know I am!
So for my post today, I will be explaining briefly how college dance teams usually work. College dance teams are very important for various reasons. One really important reason is because we are a part of what is called the "spirit program" of our school. The spirit program usually consists of the cheer team, the dance team, and the mascot. What this program does is cheer at games, appear at school events and functions as a form of spirit, appear at community events, etc.
This spirit program is especially important to a college because sports are so highlighted at the college level. The spirit teams are there to support the sports teams and most importantly fire up the crowd. Like I mentioned in my last post, I am a member of the 2010-2011 CSULB dance team. Long Beach State dance team attends men's and women's home basketball games. We dance throughout the game on the sidelines, performing on the court during time-outs and sometimes halftime. Our duty is very interactive with the fans and players, and it is a very exciting and privileged position to be in.
Here is a two minute video capturing an essence of what our season has been like so far:

PS. If you haven't been to a basketball game yet, tomorrow night is a really good night to go. It's a televised game against Montana, so it will pretty much be a full house. Also, dance team will be performing our hip hop routine at half time. So you should take a trip to the Pyramid tomorrow night at 8pm. ;]
I think I'll stop here and let this part of the college dance team world sink in. Tomorrow I will talk about the competition world. If you have any questions at all, feel free to leave a question in a comment!
Talk to you tomorrow!
