SQUAD INFORMATION



General Squad Information  


Bowling Green State University dance team is composed of approximately 15 dancers who cheer and perform at all the home football games and all home men and women’s basketball games.

The BGSU dance team program is a student activity. As a student activity, its first and foremost responsibility to the student is to support and not to compromise the student's academic career. Secondly, the program should aid in developing the student participant into a responsible, mature and independent adult. Specifically, the program is a means of improving the student's mental and physical well-being.


Purpose


The primary purpose of the dancer is to be a member of the team, which has as its goal the support of intercollegiate athletics and BGSU. That support is directed into three major areas, as follows:

  1. Entertain crowds and to lead the cheers; to raise the level of fan support for intercollegiate athletics; to lead in positive vocal support for the team; to solicit that support from Bowling Green fans and to project that support to the University and its teams
  2. To participate in the athletic activity known as dance by performing gymnastics, jumps, leaps, turns and dance movements; to perfect this athletic activity for keeping the crowd attention/direction focused on the field/floor where the intercollegiate activity is taking place, and for entertainment and competitive purposes; and
  3. To serve as public relations ambassadors of intercollegiate athletics and Bowling Green State University; to uphold, reflect and project the goals and ideals of the University; to appear at University activities, functions and programs, at charitable and public causes (not commercial/business purposes) to promote intercollegiate athletics and the University.
