One big poll still. But, if UDA releases the Nationals schedule before next weekend then I will post the results of the poll by division too. ... still...
Agreed with that. Don't think it will ever go away though. I think a lot of it stems from coaches who fuel things like that with their dancers. If the...
Wow, can't believe the picture thing. It can be hard -- certain things like "slippery floor" or "slow music" can be rough to deal with but you can also prepare...
I made some tweaks to these "Past Results" files because I had a few mistakes in there. One thing that I didn't know is that Stevenson University was formerly...
I just hope the girls on the team I work with never see it... unless they don't get mad and just use it as a reason to work harder and keep getting better,...
Yeah, I don't think it is about reversing the results -- I think it is about trying to identify legitimate issues in a particular competition process for the...
Usually in my college preview I rank the teams as I think they are going to place and – in addition to being my preview for the year – it is also my...
Just like in Open Division Hip-Hop, I am going to save specific predictions for the week of Nationals. Thirty-one teams (up from 28 in 2008) are competing for...
Seventeen teams are entered in this division including nine of last year's 11 finalists (featuring the defending champions from Cal State Fullerton) and then 8...
After two straight years of California dominance – I thought there was real potential for a shake-up in Division 1 Dance last year but Fullerton and Long...
Here is a great video documentary made by the Christopher Newport University Silver Storm Dance Team with the story of their road to the UDA College Nationals...
Eight of last year's nine finalists (including the two-time defending champions from Memphis) are on the current schedule (everyone but 3rd-place UNLV) and...
This field swells from 24 teams to 29 teams this year with all 12 of last year's finalists back (including the two-time defending champions from Tennessee) and...
No "special" routine from the Rebel Girls tonight (although their hip hop routine with Hey Reb was super cute), and no loss to the Lobos tonight! ... every ......
Barely! You barely won! And I can't believe you didn't go ask them their plans directly. I thought for sure you would do that. :) ... hip ... loss ... Wink ...
I keep hearing that "a win is a win," so as frustrating as it was to watch, it has to be good enough for me! I can only guess that the Rebel Girls are in a...
I have to agree with you on Tennessee.... I think they have started their own mini-dynasty and will be on top for years to come. And Minnesota will retain a...
"CHEER-HOP".... haha.... I laugh, but agree... that pretty much sums up this category. And I find it sad that many teams that are very good in hip hop are...
I also think Louisiana should have been included in the finals. Very surprised they were not in it. I had them finishing 4th or maybe 5th. LSU does the same...
Without even getting into the debate of what is or isn't hip-hop -- I think to me what ends up making the division look like more like "cheer-hop" than it...
Please pass this on to other dancers :) 2009 Brewers Diamond Dancer Auditions-WI The Diamond Dancers, dancing for Milwaukee's Major League Baseball Team...
FYI - an addition to small varsity pom and jazz will be Kennedy High School from Cedar Rapids, IA. They don't have all of their paper work in but are planning...
Also - I think the JV pom category might be the most interesting to watch in terms of predicting future years. West Fargo, Millard West, Linn-Mar, and if I...
OK, I was wondering where CR Kennedy was on the schedule. Glad to know they are going. There are also UDA comps in Alabama, Louisiana, Arizona and Oklahoma ...
So, I am hearing that UNLV will be competing in Hip-Hop -- two years ago they were also a late add to the schedule so it makes sense. I am just waiting to see...
For those who are new to the board (or just forgot) every year we have a little contest for fun to see who can do the best job picking the winners for the UDA...
Even though I am originally from Chicago, I do not feel as lucky as the Chicago Bulls. I feel that a repeat 3-peat, or even a repeat 1-pect is unlikely. I...
