Minnesotastan was naturally proud of his state when the University of Minnesota Dance Team won the College Dance Team National Championship last weekend. It’s their 22nd national championship. Minnesota won the title for their pom routine, but their jazz routine (which took second place) was the one that went viral. The sequence that got everyone’s attention starts at about 1:30, where all twenty dancers spin on one foot, then do a synchronized aerial flip, then spin on one foot some more. That’s a very difficult move for one person, but to get the entire team so precisely synchronized is amazing. They had initially planned for only a few dancers to execute the move, but then went ahead and included everyone. The choice of Aerosmith’s “Dream On” for the routine is a throwback to the 2004 team, which used it 20 years earlier. Also, in a case of nominative determinism, their assistant coach’s name is Tina Tumbleson. -via TYWKIWDBI
