About the Team

The MSOE Dance Team performs pom, jazz, and hip-hop routines during halftime and timeouts of various sporting events including men's & women's basketball, soccer, and hockey. The team also provides an opportunity to compete at local competitions.

Time Commitment

• Dance team tryouts are held in mid-September.
• All team members that make the team are expected to attend a mandatory dance team camp for one weekend in the fall to learn various routines before the season begins.
• Practices are held two to three times per week from October to February, excluding Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks. We know academics are MSOE students' number one priority; practices are scheduled accordingly.
• Performance dates and times vary depending on the sporting event, but the majority of events are held during the weekends, with a handful of weeknight performances.

Skills Required

All levels of dance experience are welcome. Technique is taught throughout the season so all team members are able to perform the planned choreography. A hardworking, team-oriented attitude and willingness to learn are required.

Team Goals

• Support Raider athletic teams.
• Encourage athletic fans and promote MSOE pride.
• Facilitate teamwork, academic and athletic success.
• Enhance the college experience.
• Stay fit, have fun, and make friends.
