The North Texas Dancers are a group of twenty girls of all different ages and degrees but they all have something in common; they love dancing and UNT. Auditions are held every May.
The director, Jennifer Cloutier, is now entering her twentieth season as the dance team director and choreographer. She has always instilled in her team a sense of pride for their university and they make many appearances to support it. Representing and supporting UNT are the main goals for the North Texas Dancers.
They are well known for energetic performances and their ability to entertain an audience. They have a very unique style of dancing by combining jazz, pom and hip hop.
During football season the dancers practice 4 days a week and perform at pep rallies on Friday night at Clark Park. On game days, they practice, tailgate and participate in pre game all before the football players even set foot on the field.
During basketball season they cheer alongside the court, dance during timeouts and perform hip hop or pom routines during halftime at every men and women’s home basketball game.
They also travel and perform at playoff tournaments. The dancers do many appearances and promotions in Denton as well as in the Dallas Metroplex.
The Dancers compete every year in Denton at the American Dance and Drill Team competition that is held at the super pit in March. This year along with competition at ADTS , we attended National Collegiate Competition in Daytona Beach, Florida. We qualified for finals for the first time in North Texas Dancer history and placed 4th in Division 1A!
A North Texas Dancer schedule is a busy one but they love it! The Dancers look forward to seeing you at the next home football and basketball games. Go Mean Green!
