MCC Dance Company becomes first MCC team to qualify for 2020 national championships

The three-time defending national champion MCC Dance Company punched its ticket to the 2020 NDA National Championship with an outstanding performance at NDA Camp on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

The squad won the Division III Team Dance competition, earning a gold-paid bid to the NDA Collegiate National Championship in Daytona Beach, Florida, next April. The team also received an Superior Rating on Game Day performance. Sophomore team captains Trinity Thomas and Emma Howard were also named NDA All-Americans. 

The team's summer success doesn't stop there. Six team members attended UDA camp earlier in the month, bringing home Superior Ratings for Game Day and Routine A Evaluations, a Collegeiate Recognition Award for being excellent ambassadors for MCC, and a Leadership Award voted on by other camp attendees.
