> Dancing Illini "Team Match" Team!
>
> Preparing for and participating in competitions is one of the best ways to
> become a better dancer. There are several intercollegiate dance
> competitions coming up in the spring. Each of these competitions features
> a "team match" segment that we'd like to participate in.
>
> If you've never seen a team match, it's a dance contest between college
> teams of 8 dancers. Each person dances one dance with his or her partner
> and is given a score by the judges. The scores are totaled, and the team
> with the highest score wins.
>
> (Don't worry - couples are not out on the floor alone; if 10 colleges
> attend the comp, there will be 10 couples out on the floor together.... In
> fact, it can be hard to hear the music with everyone on the sidelines
> screaming for their team at the top of their lungs!)
>
> To prepare teams of dancers for this exciting experience. The DI is
> offering a course which will emphasize technique and competitive styling
> for the competitive dancer.
