The Towson University Dance Team is now 16 for 16, having won the 2014 National Dance Alliance (NDA) Collegiate National Championship to earn its sixteenth consecutive title.

“We’re extremely excited and proud to represent Towson University once again at the national championships,” said Tom Cascella, dance team coach.

“The team spirit and cooperation of this group of young women makes them champions. I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of our team.”

The competition, held in Daytona Beach, Fla., at the Peabody Auditorium and the Daytona Beach Band Shell, is the largest college cheer and dance championship in the world.

Almost 5,000 student athletes and 15,000 supporters and spectators convened for the competition of technical skills, choreography, showmanship, synchronization and teamwork.

The hyper-paced precision dances are a combination of hip-hop, jazz, funk and pom routines. The Towson University Dance Team was the top seed going into the competition, winning the Division I competition and beating Boston University, University of Missouri-Kansas City, James Madison University and many more.
