"This was incorporated into our choreography by adding difficult skills and turn sets." To match the spirit of the routines, the dance team created two new gorgeous costumes!   Their jazz costume was a simple and elegant biketard with plunging neckline, perfectly accented with rhinestones at the shoulder.  The team sported the perfect accessory -  and a whip-worthy high pony, befitting the routine's music ["Hair" by Little Mix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgUpRwMeRr4) .  The overall look conveyed a lot of strength and sass!!   For their pom routine, the team played up a traditional pom  look with patterned [sublimated](http://thelineup.com/index.php/sublimation/) sleeves and a wide, open back.  Inspired by the [Venice](http://thelineup.com/index.php/venice.html) style, the team added their own finishing touches with trim, lettering on the front, and the team's logo on the back!  The result was a fresh look we haven't seen a lot of in the pom world!  Check out more Q&A with Coaches Morgan and Megen below!!   ![St Cloud State University dance team jazz costume](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/Capture-4.jpg?width=600&name=Capture-4.jpg "St Cloud State University dance team jazz costume") ![St Cloud State University dance team UDA nationals pom uniform](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/image4-1.jpg?width=600&name=image4-1.jpg "St Cloud State University dance team UDA nationals pom uniform") ###### Photo via [UDA](https://www.facebook.com/DanceUDA/) ![SCSU dance team pom uniform](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/Venice%20St%20Cloud%20State_3-lengthened-sm.jpg?width=500&name=Venice%20St%20Cloud%20State_3-lengthened-sm.jpg "SCSU dance team pom uniform") ###### SCSU's pom uniform was modified from the [Venice](http://thelineup.com/index.php/venice.html) style on the left.     --- ## TLU Spotlight Q&A: ![St Cloud State University dance team at 2017 UDA nationals ](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/image1-edit.jpg?width=480&name=image1-edit.jpg "St Cloud State University dance team at 2017 UDA nationals ") #### **What makes your team unique?** All of the 2015-2016 members still enrolled at St. Cloud State returned for the 2016-2017 season #### **What was your music? ** Jazz: [*Hair* by Little Mix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgUpRwMeRr4) Pom: A compilation of songs:  - *Pour Some Sugar on Me* - *We're Not Going to Take It* - *All Right Now* - *Thunderstruck* - *Give It All U Got* - *WTF (Where They From)* - *Hurts So Good* - *The Water Dance* - *Snap Yo Fingers* - *Drop It Low* #### What is your team's biggest challenge/opportunity this season? The team's biggest challenge this year was defending their 2016 National Championship.    A huge opportunity presented to us was to do a video/photo shoot with the [Alliance Dance Network](https://www.facebook.com/pg/AllianceDanceNW/videos/?ref=page_internal). This is a new company getting started in the business and we saw it as an opportunity to work on our performance factor prior to Nationals. With a routine like *Hair* ,and all pom routines, if you can sell it you have a better ability of getting your audience to enjoy your routine. #### **What is your favorite memory from the season?** The sense of accomplishment we had walking off the Nationals floor, both with Jazz and Pom.     Check out their video by [Alliance Dance Network](https://www.facebook.com/AllianceDanceNW/):       And check out the team's Jazz and Pom videos from the Best of the Best Invitational, held the week before UDA Nationals:       --- [![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: [Cheer, Pom & Gameday](https://blog.thelineup.com/topic/cheer-pom-gameday), [Dance](https://blog.thelineup.com/topic/dance), [College](https://blog.thelineup.com/topic/college) ### What do you think?
