It is an exciting week for high schools in Minnesota: choreography week. It’s the week that the captains get to start their competition dance journey. The music, the formations, the choreography, the skills, the energy and the costume all work together to bring a vision to life. If one of these elements isn't working with the other, the dance feels "off"... and no one likes that feeling.

Teams from all around the country are distinguishing themselves and finding great ways to represent their schools, organizations, and clubs. This week we wanted to feature a team that is doing just that: the Demon Dazzler dancers from Northwestern State University with their new chevron ombre tanks! The Slouchy Tank is cute AND comfortable. Because the tank is sublimated and colorfast, the ladies can wear these all season and many more to come! Why? Colorfast means NO FADING. EVER.

The gorgeous ladies of the Tulane University Shockwave Dance Team have been rockin' it out on the sidelines in their signature green and turquoise uniforms. The team took our webstyle top and added lettering to make this uniform truly their own. With all the sparkle and bling on top, they kept the skirt simple and subtle.

Football season is in full swing and we love seeing all the new beauties on the sidelines, rockin' their uniforms. We were especially excited when we saw the Carolina Panther Cheerleaders, the TopCats, on Sunday Night Football in their new "tear" uniform. The costume was a re-design of one of their more seasoned outfits, and the fresh look works so perfectly for their signature style and theme! One of the many detailed elements that takes this uniform to a whole new level is the rhinestone and spangled tips of the jagged skirt. Spectacular!

The Red Wolves Dancers of Arkansas State University are composed of 17 Members this season and so far, it's been a successful one- winning both Most Collegiate AND Home Routine at UDA College Camp 2014! Way to go!
