TEN DANCERS RECEIVE ACADEMIC HONORS

SMITHFIELD, R.I. – The Bryant University Dance team has been performing their spectacular routine alongside the Cheer team during half-time at the Men’s Basketball home games throughout the season.  

At the game on Tuesday, February 18th, ten girls received academic honors from the University. The following dancers were named to the Dean’s List: Sabrina Barron, Stephanie Souza, Lily Swain, Jillian Ulicki, Hayley Bobok, Maggie Marani, Dominique Altieri, Angelina Leandres, Sarah Larned, and Sara Letourneau. 

As a special addition to their halftime routine, the Dance team invited a group of young girls to join them in performing at Tuesday’s game. The girls were very excited to dance in front of the crowd and even got to wear matching Bryant Basketball t-shirts.  

With just a few basketball games left in the season, the Dance team can begin focusing on fundraising for their annual trip to Daytona, Florida to compete in the NCA/NDA National Competition.  

With focus shifting to nationals, the Dance and Cheerleading teams held a choreography session on Sunday, February 23rd led by a 2018 team alumnus to work on a routine exclusively for their sendoff performance.  

As sendoff approaches, the team is also busy organizing sponsors, reaching out to all the New England Cheer/Dance teams, and working on the logistics for the competition occurring on the weekend of April 5th.
