About US

The primary mission of the Loyola University Maryland Dance Team is to function as a spirit support group, and represent the University, Department of Recreational Sports, and Athletics in a positive manner. 

The Loyola University Maryland Dance is a precision-based team that performs at all home men’s and women’s basketball games in addition to making numerous appearances at other athletic, campus, and community events. While we currently do not compete, members of the team are required to attend UDA College Camp at the University of Delaware in early August. 

We typically practice 2-3 times a week and our practices include technical training as well as self-imposed study hall. In addition to our practices, we host team bonding activities throughout the season and are actively involved in fundraising or volunteer opportunities. 

Dance Team members are required to pay annual dues. Dues vary by year and typically include cost of camp and apparel.
