The Boston University Dance Team is dedicated to the art of dance and the promotion of school spirit. Each team member is unique – we have different academic interests, come from different places, and have different dance training – but we all have one thing in common: our love of dance and commitment to our team.
The BU Dance Team was founded in 1991 as a club sport under the Department of Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance. In 2009, the team officially became a part of the Department of Athletics under the banner of the BU Spirit Squads along with the BU Cheer Team and Pep Band. The team performs at men’s and women’s basketball games, on-campus events, community service events, and local dance showcases, and competitions. The team competes in the Division I Large category at the DTU College Classic in Orlando, FL. The team won National Titles at the NDA Collegiate National Championship in 2014 (Hip Hop) and 2016 (Team Performance).
