Dance Team
The Firestarters entertain the crowd at the men’s and women’s home basketball games by performing halftime jazz, hip-hop, lyrical, and pom routines. You can also find them on the sidelines during the women’s home games, performing crowd teasers and chants.
During season we practice four day’s a week, plus our games. During off season we will practice 2 times a week with weekly workouts added in throughout the week, and also hold open gym time to work on specific skills that are a necessity to being an athlete on the Spirit Program. We attend a private college camp during the summer that help us prepare for the approaching season.
Community Service is another big part of who we are. Therefore, we do a lot of appearances out in the community at non-college functions.
