My niece is part of a competitive dance team (and I have 3 left feet when I dance) so I have an understanding of the truly insane level of effort that goes into creating & executing a routine that well. I've always been amazed at how long it's taking for the world to wake up to the stone-cold fact that these dancers are ATHLETES deserving of as much attention as any football team.

I'm telling ya, there is something in the water up there in Minnesota. Look at videos of high school competitions and you'll see the talent is crazy good and goes back many years! The competition to get into UM is tough. They deserve many accolades!

I danced in college. I was part of the dance club. It was an outlet from the stress of academia. But these women right here! Do it for fun, do it for the love of it, do it for themselves, family, friends, the community, the thrill of hearing the cheers. I don't dance as nearly as well as these ladies do, but if I could do it again, I would do it in a ❤ beat. Dancing is fun, liberating, and doing it with a group of talented girls like this, just awesome!🎉❤🎉❤

As a professional dancer for 27 years. I must say, they are incredibly impressive! Nicely done! That was a ton of dedication and hard work right there. ( not to mention bloody feet, bruises, soreness, and the intense psychological stress of wanting to do your best).

The reason why it’s gone so viral is because it’s the first time a male dancer has been featured and permitted to perform and compete at such a level.
The dancers are amazing on their technique! Congratulations on your success.
It’s about time that us males get the chances. If you’ve got the talent and technical ability to do the routines, then you should be allowed to do the routines. Dance is not just for women!!!!
I wish my time, dancing in the early 90’s would’ve been met with such enthusiasm. Instead of being shunned and denied.
Bravo!!!!

[markallen]

I may be bias, but Minnesota has the most lovely, smart girls in the U.S. I know, I have traveled extensively. I am an old Minnesota son, born and bred.
