Bring it On!

The Hofstra University Cheer and Dance teams brought a ton of Hofstra PRIDE, in addition to their amazing skills and talents to the 2013 UCA & UDA College Cheerleading and Dance Team National Championship in Orlando, Florida this past weekend. Both teams worked hard throughout the year and over their mid-year break to prepare for this competition, and their hard work paid off. The teams return to Hofstra as both national and world champions! The Cheer Team took home the national title for the fifth year in a row and the Dance Team is the reigning hip hop champion for the second year in a row. See below for a full list of their results, and click here to view a video of their performances.

It was amazing to watch these teams in action- they were clearly outstanding in all of their categories. It was also wonderful to see the Hofstra fan support. Families and friends brought their Hofstra PRIDE, sported the blue and gold, and cheered until they were hoarse for their loved ones competing. The Hofstra cheering section was one of the loudest ones present.

Huge congratulations and thanks to the men and women on the Cheer and Dance Teams and their coaches for representing Hofstra so well and making us all proud. Go PRIDE!

    Once again these amazing athletes hardwork and dedication throughout the year has paid off. These students have great time management. They continue to study very hard to keep there GPA up and pursuing an education while practicing long hours,giving up social events with there friends and it shows. We feel that the University should recognize them as "The Athletes"they are and bestow the accolades and recognition they so richly deserve. GO PRIDE

    Cheerleading has always been a part of high school life. It's good that Hofstra University has some tough squad. Bring it on! :)
