Cameron Krishna is a proud member of the University of Nebraska Omaha Dance Team (UNODT). Dancing since she was around three years old, she found her outlet.
“Like any other sport dancing is an outlet for me. It’s something that is always there and no matter what will make me feel better. It has also brought me some of my favorite people”. Krishna stated.
Cameron chose to join the UNODT because it would allow her to continue her dance career with people like herself who grew up in the Omaha dance community.
She stated that “ being on the dance team has brought her closer to the UNO community than she ever would have thought.”
They perform and attend games at school and they join the spirit and tradition department as well which lets them help out with things such as dance marathons as well as making appreciation at different UNO events.
To join the team the dance team holds auditions as well as a prep clinic that will prepare the individual for our audition. The two-step process starts with a video audition. From there the second day the coaches invite people to come to the in-person audition part.
The second day the dancers learn four different combinations such as a showcase, a self-choreographed solo, a technique and game day dance. All these dances are learned and then performed. At the end of day two, the coach will announce the next team.
You can follow the UNODT on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for all updates and anything dance team related.
The UNODT attends a week long camp to learn new dance routines and compete against their rival schools.
