I found a blog of a young woman whom is also in college. She wrote about the struggle oF being a part of a dance team that is not recognized as an official varsity sport. She relates to her high school team, where their team was a very good team and qualified for nationals, but could not raise the money to go to Florida for nationals because her school did not recognize it as an athletic team. Also, she mentions collegiate teams in the division 1 schools that are sponsored through the school’s athletic programs. This article for all I know could have been written by one of my team mates. She also talks about how Gatorade officially declared dance a sport during the time this blog was written.

"Arizona State University." Sun Devil Dance Team Chosen for ICU Championships. Sun Devil Athletics, 11 Feb. 2013. Web. 20 Feb. 2013.

This is an offical article located on the Sun Devil Athletics website. It is a congratulations announcement to the team for being chosen to represent the United States in a world wide dance competition. Our captain was interviewed and talks about the teams potential and drive to be the best of the best. It gives backround on the USA dance teams in the past, whom have consecutively won first and second place. This article proved to be one of the first signs that our competitive dance team could potentially be a part of the athletic program.
