The team is familiar with success, claiming an impressive 17 National Championship over the past 21 years. Talk about a dance dynasty!  This year, the team won over the crowd and judges with their hip hop routine set to a mashup of songs including Gucci Gang, Look at Me Now, Walk it Out, and many more. When asked about their outfit inspiration Coach Jodi Maxfield said, “We were inspired by a few well know hip hop crews and wanted something athletic and girly.” The team wore an on-trend hip hop look:[bomber jacket](https://www.thelineup.com/bomber-jacket.html) and [harem pants](https://www.thelineup.com/556-9-harem-pants.html).  They stood out from the competition by styling the outfit in all white!  It's a color choice we don't often see for hip hop, but they wore it well! ![hip hop dance](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/hip%20hop%20dance.jpg?width=1080&name=hip%20hop%20dance.jpg) ![group-1](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/group-1.jpg?width=390&name=group-1.jpg)   ![hip hop group pic_2](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/hip%20hop%20group%20pic_2.jpg?width=390&name=hip%20hop%20group%20pic_2.jpg) ![hip hop group pic](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/hip%20hop%20group%20pic.jpg?width=390&name=hip%20hop%20group%20pic.jpg)   ![group2](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/group2.jpg?width=390&name=group2.jpg)  ## The Cougarettes' Game Day Dresses On the Field When the Cougarettes aren't dominating the competition on stage they are busy cheering on the BYU Cougars on the sidelines!
