About Us
The purpose of the Husky Dance Squad is to enhance our school spirit experience through dynamic performances, new traditions, and creative expression through dance. We aim to unite the HCU community, inspire pride in our traditions, and serve as role models of dedication and teamwork to those throughout this campus. Through our commitment to the excellence of dance, we seek to build a supportive, faith-based, and inclusive environment that represents this organization well to HCU and the University’s policies and standards. The Husky Dance Squad was established in Spring of 2025.
The Husky Dance Squad works very closely with our Husky Band, Cheer, and Spirit team. From halftime performances with the band at football games to our pregame show with our cheerleaders, we are all about taking it to the next level on our D1 field at Husky Stadium! We currently perform in various styles: Pom, Field Jazz, Kick, Hip Hop, Jazz, and contemporary. We perform at school spirit events, sporting events, TDEA collegiate showcase, and many other performance opportunities!
