Dance Team

NYU Athletics

The NYU Dance Team is the official competitive dance team at New York University. Focusing on jazz, pom, and hip-hop, the team typically hosts a showcase, performs at men's and women's basketball games throughout the season, gives back to the community by participating in multiple events throughout the year, and competes each year at National Dance Alliance's Collegiate Championships (NDA Nationals) in Daytona Beach, Florida.

The NYU Dance team holds auditions at the end of each spring semester and beginning of each fall semester. Dates for in-person auditions and video submission details will be announced on social media (see below for links).
