Six years after their founding, the Harvard Crimson Dance Team placed fifth in a national competition last week.
Over 70 teams competed in the National Dance Alliance Collegiate Championship, held in Daytona Beach, Fla., on April 5 and 6.
After placing seventh in a preliminary round on Thursday, the 12-member female squad moved on to the final round.
This was the first year that the squad advanced to the finals.
"Making finals meant so much to us. The team was founded with this competition in mind, and we've worked so hard. It was really amazing to meet that goal," team member Vedra Chandler '02 said.
Team Captain Kimberlee R. Garis '01 shared Chandler's enthusiasm.
"It is usually the same 10 schools in the final round. It was very exciting just to be there," she said.
The Harvard team continued their stellar performance into the final round.
