Emporia State University

Stingers Dance Team

2009-2010

The ESU Stinger Dance Team’s primary focus is to generate school spirit and lead the crowd in support of Emporia State University athletic teams. At every home football game, the Stingers’ duties consist of performances with the band during the Emporia Marching Hornets halftime show, performing sideline routines during the game, and leading the crowd in school spirit. At home basketball games, the Stingers perform several dance styles (pom, kick, jazz, and hip hop) for their halftime routines. They also perform sideline routines and cheer with the ESU Cheer Squad.

Other functions of the squad are to serve as ambassadors for the Athletic Department, assist with pre-game activities and community service events, and perform with the band in several Emporia community parades. The squad practices three to five times a week and abides by NCAA rules and guidelines.
