About Our Organization

The Dance Team is a spirited and essential part of our campus community, bringing energy and enthusiasm to school events throughout the year. As proud supporters of Red Fox athletics, we perform at all home football games, as well as men’s and women’s basketball games. We also travel with the teams to the MAAC Championship in Atlantic City, helping to rally the crowd and represent our school on a larger stage.

Our team specializes in a blend of hip hop, jazz, and pom styles, creating visually powerful performances that showcase both precision and personality. We are committed to athleticism, artistry, and teamwork in every routine we perform.

All members of the team successfully complete an audition process. Auditions are held each fall for incoming freshmen and again in the spring, which is open to all Marist students interested in joining the team.

In addition to our role on the sidelines, we represent our school at regional competitions and proudly participate in the College Classic each spring. We also take great pride in connecting with the broader community, attending local events and sharing Red Fox pride wherever we go.

Whether on the field, the court, or the competition stage, the Dance Team brings passion, talent, and school spirit to everything we do.

Meeting Times

The Dance Team practices several times each week for anywhere from 2 to 3 hours, typically in the evenings and during campus activity hours. Practices are held in McCann Arena and McCormick Hall, where we focus on technique, endurance, and choreography across hip hop, jazz, and pom styles. All practices, games, performances, and events are mandatory, and dancers are expected to maintain and continuously improve their skill set throughout the season.

By making the team, dancers commit to the full academic year—from early August through late April—including performances at home football and basketball games, regional competitions, and special campus or community events. While the time commitment is significant, we prioritize academic success. All team members are expected to remain in good academic standing and maintain a minimum GPA as set by the college and club sports guidelines. Our team fosters a supportive environment where dancers can excel both athletically and academically.
