0By Anthony Scerati
On April 9 -11, the UPIKE Dance team competed in the National dance Association (NDA) and in the NAIA championships. Competition took place in Daytona Beach, Fla.
For the second straight season, the dance team unfortunately fell short of advancing to the NDA final. The team ended with a respectable 8th place finish. Even though this wasn’t the vision the team had, there was still hope.
In the Challengers Cup, the team needed to finish first to automatically advance but finished in third. Eventual champion Baker (Kan.) won with a total score of 8.3 for their routine while UPike had 8.1. Other teams that made the Challengers Cup top five were Oklahoma City, Davenport, and Ottawa.
