UMassGives 2026

The UMass Dance Team is a Division I collegiate program that performs at all men’s and women’s basketball games, football games, and a variety of community and athletic events throughout the year. We travel to Orlando, Florida in January to compete at the Universal Dance Association (UDA) National College Dance Championship alongside the UMass Cheerleading team. We compete in the Division IA Jazz and Division IA Game Day categories, and as of 2023, we are proud to be 2nd place champions in the Division IA Spirit Program Game Day division. The UMass Dance Team is also proud to collaborate throughout the season with the UMass Minuteman Marching Band! This past September, we performed with the Band at Gillette Stadium during the New England Patriots’ Home Opener, and had the amazing opportunity to perform with the band in the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in NYC! All donations will be used to support travel expenses, uniforms, costumes, and essential gear needed for a successful season. Any gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact on our team’s ability to grow and compete at the highest level. Thank you for supporting the UMass Dance Team, go Minutemen!
