Texas Spirits Support UT Dance

On Saturday, April 30th, Spirits came out to support the UT Dance Team as they performed their spring dance show to show off the dances they have mastered over the last year.  A fellow Spirit, Sarah Smith, has been part of the dance team for two years; she is one of the thirteen girls that are currently on the team.  The dances that were performed were a compilation of what they had learned for other competitions, as well as personal dances that they were able to choreograph themselves.

"The best part about the show and having a student-run team is that if you think to yourself 'Wow, it would be really awesome to do a dance to this song', then you have the chance to make it happen," says Sarah.  Sarah had a solo in the show, which was the first one she had ever had.  With the support of her best friends cheering her on from backstage, she ended up dancing beautifully and having a lot of fun.  In addition, the dancers performed a variety of styles of dance--jazz, modern, hip-hop, tap, lyrical, and ballet.

Congrats to UT Dance on a great '10-'11 season, and we look forward to see what you have in store for next year!
