Mission
* What is your group's mission and/or purpose? Minnesota Premier Dance Team is a competitive club dance team at the University of Minnesota! We bring a fun yet competitive environment to dancers who want to continue dancing in college. We recently represented Minnesota at NDA College Nationals in Daytona Beach where we placed 9th in the nation in 2023!
* Describe your group's principal activities, events, or programs. As a team, we practice two to three times a week. We perform at a variety of events and competitions on/near campus including NDA College Nationals, Best of the Best, Homecoming Parade, Ballyhoo, UDA dance competition, local performances at Minnesota high schools, and more! We also travel out of state for competitions. 
* How can someone get involved with your group? Minnesota Premier Dance Team try-outs are held once a school year in the middle of September. We typically have prep clinics at the end of the spring semester and/or in the summer for dancers interested in MPDT. The best way to stay up-to-date on all tryout/prep clinic information is to follow us on Instagram (@mnpremierdanceteam), Facebook (Minnesota Premier Dance Team - University of Minnesota), or by emailing premierdance@gmail.com with any questions! 
* How does your group create a fun and positive environment for its members? Minnesota Premier Dance Team is an incredible team of students who want to be surrounded by dancers who are driven, passionate, and fun. We create a fun and positive environment for our members by cheering each other on, supporting local UMN events together, and sharing our love of dance at team practices. We strive to have open communication amongst members in order to ensure that everyone is feeling comfortable and excited for practices and performances.
