DANCE TEAM IS SENDING OFF TO DAYTONA

SMITHFIELD, R.I. – The Bryant University Dance team has been eagerly preparing to compete in the NCA & NDA Collegiate Cheer and Dance Competition in Daytona, Florida starting on April 4th through the 6th. In preparation for the competition, the Cheer and Dance teams hosted a New England NDA/NCA Annual Sendoff at Bryant University on Sunday, March 31st, where fifteen teams from New England came to showcase their routines to friends and family. Over 600 spectators came to watch routines performed by Bryant University, UMass Lowell, the College of Holy Cross, Bridgewater State University, Johnson and Wales University, Worcester Polytech Institute, Curry College, Central Connecticut State University, Stonehill College, Assumption College, Springfield College, UMass Amherst, Merrimack College, and the University of New England.

The Bryant University Cheer and Dance teams, along with baton twirler Samantha Turcotte, performed seven out of the fifteen routines during the Send-off. The Bulldogs were able to showcase their hard work and elegant flare during their performance of a lyrical piece to a remixed version of “Let’s Hurt Tonight”. In addition, they also performed a Spirit Program alongside the Bryant Cheer team, which is a Game Day Routine that demonstrates their fight song, band dance, and a team chant. The Cheer and Dance teams will be performing these same Game Day routines at the National competition.
