The little [mesh gloves](http://thelineup.com/fingerless-mesh-gloves.html) from you guys made the look a little more edgy," coach Morgan Williams told us. With a fun name like BAMA, we totally understand wanting to wear it front and center!   The team also selected the romantic style [Jubilee](http://thelineup.com/jubilee.html), shown below, for their Jazz performance. How stunning does each one of these girls look in this style?!  It's the perfect trifecta of everyone's favorite dance [costume trends](https://blog.thelineup.com/jazz-lyrical-contemporary-dance-costume-trends-2018): a stunning open back, [a dusty rose color](https://blog.thelineup.com/the-dance-costume-color-of-the-year) scheme, and an elegant half skirt! We are obsessed!  Check out a video of their hip hop performance at UDA and more Q & A with BAMA below!   ![bama.jpg](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/bama.jpg?width=790&height=639&name=bama.jpg)   >   > > [Outwork yesterday 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #beastmode #bamadanceteam #finals #udanationals](https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd8nXR9F6BQ/) > > A post shared by [Alabama Dance Team](https://www.instagram.com/bamadanceteam/) (@bamadanceteam) on Jan 14, 2018 at 2:45pm PST   >   > > [Special thanks to our choreographer @\_novien\_ for such an amazing piece 🖤 it was perfect for us 💪🏻 #udanationals #finalist #top7 #beastmode #bamadanceteam](https://www.instagram.com/p/BeBeIpgFVEA/) > > A post shared by [Alabama Dance Team](https://www.instagram.com/bamadanceteam/) (@bamadanceteam) on Jan 16, 2018 at 12:05pm PST   >   > > [Pt 2](https://www.instagram.com/p/BeBegVzljyj/) > > A post shared by [Alabama Dance Team](https://www.instagram.com/bamadanceteam/) (@bamadanceteam) on Jan 16, 2018 at 12:08pm PST   [![Send us your pictures here: Photo Submission Form >>  ](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1594707/9a49f095-91dd-4124-98df-fa269a22ae95.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1594707/9a49f095-91dd-4124-98df-fa269a22ae95) #### What was your competition music? We had a hip hop mix, but the key lyric we stuck to was “beast mode.”  #### What makes your team/group unique? We had not made it to hip hop finals since 2010.  #### What is your favorite fan memory, or what are you most excited for this season? When they announced Bama was advancing to hip hop finals and we were top 7. We will never forget screaming when they called our name.  #### What was your team's biggest challenge/opportunity this season? Fun fact: Alabama won the football national championship Monday and we went to nationals Thursday!  --- [![Free Costume Planner - The Imagination Kit](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/1594707/805c1c9f-ba33-457d-bab1-22251b6eeb2f.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/1594707/805c1c9f-ba33-457d-bab1-22251b6eeb2f)   Topics: [Team Spotlight](https://blog.thelineup.com/topic/teamspotlight), [College](https://blog.thelineup.com/topic/college), [Competition & Event Recaps](https://blog.thelineup.com/topic/competition-event-recaps) ### What do you think?
