Fordham Dance Team (FDT) is the perfect club to join if you’re interested in dance
and want to show off your school spirit! Although it is a club sport here at
Fordham, the dance team is heavily involved with Fordham Athletics. FDT and the
Fordham cheerleaders work together to provide the ultimate school spirit and
support at athletic events. Fordham Dance performs during halftime and media
timeouts at all home Fordham Football and men’s and women’s Basketball games. In
addition, we do sidelines with Fordham Cheerleading at all basketball games. This
year at both the Homecoming and Family Weekend football games, Dance and Cheer
did a special halftime performance together! I tried out for the dance team the
first semester of my freshman year, and I have loved being a part of the team
ever since. It has been a great way to be involved with Fordham and to show my
support for the athletic teams and my love for the school!

In addition to game performances, the team values performing
and fundraising for groups and organizations both on and off campus. Last year
we participated in Fordham’s Relay for Life event. We raised $3,000, walked at
the event, and performed. We also participated in the Light It Up Blue-Autism
Awareness event. This year the team is very excited about adding the Making
Strides Walk Against Breast Cancer to our events.

This past summer the team had the opportunity to attend Universal
Dance Association (UDA) camp at Western Connecticut State College for a
weekend. We got to work with trained dancers, and learned five routines to use
for the upcoming year. The team also won a Superior trophy for performing our
own Fordham Fight Song Cheer! Whether you’re into dance or not, I recommend
joining at least one club at Fordham because the experience of being a part of
a group and making some of your best friends is worth it!
