The USU Eastern Dance Team was invited to perform at the Utah Miss Drill Solo Championship, a prestigious competition for elite dancers that compete for the title of Miss Drill Utah. The winner of the event then travels to compete on a national platform against all state representatives. The Dance Team guest performed their game day hip hop on stage along with other collegiate teams; Weber, UVU, and the University of Utah. ‘We are very fortunate to have been requested to attend, giving us the opportunity to perform for so many talented dancers. This kind of exposure helps us in recruiting efforts, gives my team performance time to show off their hard work and skills, and helps us to prepare for our National competition in April.’ -Brandi Taylor-Johansen

Members Trinady Lindsey, Haylee Lamb, Brooklyn Lamb, and head coach Brandi Taylor-Johansen have all competed in this competition while attending high school and were recognized on stage after their performance.
