Thursday, Nov. 12, the UPIKE dance team started working on its hip-hop routine for nationals. The NDA Nationals take place April 6-10 in Daytona, Fla.
The dance team will perform in the division III hip-hop and NAIA team performance. The team is extremely excited about the opportunity to perform and represent the University of Pikeville at Nationals.
“We had Julie Johnson come in to do choreography. She works with the University of Kentucky’s dance team. We are going to be selling calendars as fundraiser this year to help us get to nationals. I have a really great group of girls this year. The team is working hard and I think it is going to be an amazing year,” said coach, Jill Darby.
The dancers are working hard to make sure that their routines are strong, perfect, and unforgettable. The team is putting in some long hours at practices to make sure they are the absolute best and hope to bring home a national championship.
