Dance Team 

The Fairmont State University dance team is an energetic group that performs at Fairmont State football and basketball games, pep rallies, parades, competitions, and school and community events. This team of student-athletes demonstrates its support for the Fighting Falcons with entertaining sideline and halftime performances. This team recently brought home a first place trophy from the Starpower Talent Competition in Charleston, W.Va. on April 2, 2011.

Our style of dance consists of jazz, pom, kick and hip hop performances. The team also cheers on the sidelines of FSU football games.

The team is coached by Ally Chichester and Jess Kromer, both former members of the dance team.

The next try-out will be on Saturday, August 17th at 10 a.m. in the Feaster Center Auxiliary Gym. There will be two clinic nights, August 14-15, from 7-9 p.m. Attendance at one clinic is mandatory to try-out.
