We have not yet had the opportunity to interview the Truman State University Dance Team, if you are associated with the Truman State University Dance Team please have someone from the team email us at Brittany@BDancewear.com to set up an interview (only takes a few minutes and it’s free).
In the meantime here is some quick insights about this Truman State University Dance Team from their website.
The Truman State University Showgirls Dance Team is an elite group of 15 girls whose responsibilities include providing spirit, support and entertainment at home athletic events. The Showgirls season runs from the end of August until the end of April with required summer practices prior to the UDA Camp. During football season, the Showgirls work closely with the Truman State Marching Band to perform sideline routines throughout the game as well as a featured half-time performance. These routines incorporate pom style choreography with a mix of kicks and jazz to create visual entertainment for the stadium crowd. Basketball season brings performances at both Men’s and Women’s basketball games. The Showgirls perform sideline routines with the basketball jazz band as well as a halftime routine at each game. The Showgirl Dance Team placed 1st at the January 2015 Chicagoland UDA in the Open Jazz Division. In addition to their performance during home games, the Showgirls participate in homecoming performances (pep rally), T-Soda, Oktoberfest, Special Olympics, Lip-Sync, and other requested appearances. Also, the Showgirls help fundraise in a number of ways. They host a Kid’s Clinic where they teach children who sign up to participate in a dance and a cheer and then perform at the half time of a basketball game. They also work the annual Kraft fair to fundraise and help out the community. Additionally, they sell a calendar composed of pictures of their team and other athletic teams.
Is it to late to audition for 2016-2017 dance team? And do you need to be accepted to the college first before you can try out?
