University of Minnesota Dance Team Jazz 2024

[@nataliecampion7350]

The synchronization of those turns gave me absolute chills - so proud of Minnesota!

[@thom7440]

i know nothing about dance teams, but i cant imagine how you can synchronize that many people on the turns so perfectly -- on every one. that was crazy

[@xobelladonna2443]

That’s exactly why the crowd went bezerk lmao so badass

[@krue7]

UNBELIEVABLE! The execution of the choreography made my heart swell and brought tears to my eyes. Incredible!

[@jenniferskavenski2278]

Mine too! I initially saw clips on instagram and i immediately needed the full version of this. I watched OSU and LSU and enjoyed them both but not as much as this.

[@krististevens54322]

WAYYYYYYYY better than yesterday. I noticed Zilch, NONE, NO mistakes today. I knew these guys would come back in the finals and KILL IT. SLAYYYED it. If they don't win the title, something is not right with how things are being judged. GO GOPHERS!!!!!!🎉🥇👏

[@mr.balloffur]

There was a mistake on turns

[@krististevens54322]

Matt went high on relevé in that second set of fouetté turns, but he was on time. Other than that, I have no clue what you are seeing. No points would be, or shall I say, should be deducted for that.

[@averyjohnson1777]

mrballoffur the girl on OSU in the center fell out of her turns quite obviously and they somehow beat this incredible performance where i see no “mistakes on turns” so idk what you’re watching. they were robbed. plain and simple and everyone knows it

[@kar891]

@@averyjohnson1777 it was literally less than a 10th of a mark difference between them. And OSU had a higher root mark to begin with. Both teams were brilliant. It could have just as easily gone the other way.

[@lalaangel888]

There was a point deduction because a dancer step out of floor after turn sequence, Ohio didn’t have any step out of floor.

[@Summer.Golden]

I’m an LSU girl, but this team should have taken 1st. This choreography and talent is outstanding!

[@Crystaldegreef]

I’m an FSU girl. LSU was unreal.

[@krististevens54322]

I whole-heartedly agree with you @Summer.Golden

[@jentamal567]

@@Crystaldegreef LSU gave me chills

[@rthings8541]

Im a old boomer from Canada and have watched this at least 5 times. Spectacular!

[@christopherkerns639]

That was as close to perfection as it gets! OUTSTANDING! Hope that they win EVERY award, they are more than deserving! The passion and choreography goes into another level! They impress all who are lucky to see them!

[@nolamedgirl]

One of the dancers on the right steps out of bounds at 1:57. That's one of the reasons for big deductions and is a huge hit to anyone saying this team is technically perfect. I found their turns and technique to be impressive but the choreography was lacking. Their formations were often cluttered and their lines not straight. They had a lot of transitions that did not flow smoothly where they simply walked in to place.

[@sagittarius3363]

The skill level of each individual is phenomenal, and then to be choreographed so seamlessly....that was a joy to watch.

[@averyjohnson1777]

never have the lyrics “you have to lose to know how to win” been more true. they won in everyone’s eyes. idk what grudge the judges had against them but this is easily the best performance. congrats to the gophs!

[@lalaangel888]

Minnesota had point deduction for a dancer step off the floor after the turn sequence.

[@Kellyswanson15]

@@lalaangel888this is false. They had no deductions

[@jeff.fliehman]

makes absolutely no sense they are 100% the winners in my eyes after finding out Ohio had travis wall choreograph theres and Minnesota’s was choreographed by themselves and had THE Matthew Greco in their dance.

[@mrs.monica9180]

By comparison, MN was technically great. The choreography, in my opinion was not he best match for the song. The difference between MN's and OSU's performances was the artistry. The OSU dancers really communicated the message of the song, dancing with passion and expression. MN dancers' choreography wouldn't allow them to show that level of artistry and style. Their extensions and turns were amazing, but musicality, presentation, and execution of choreography in OSU's performance outshines this one for me.

[@KateMich12]

Have no idea how this wasn't first place. Amazing performance! Jawdropping!

[@mrsstrople]

Oh my goodness. I understand the hype this is the most in sync dance I've ever seen and I grew up dancing. Honestly brought a tear to see and hear the audience enjoy it so much. You all are absolutely insane. Just top notch. So impressive. Definitely re-watching and rewinding to catch it all. Wow.

[@xobelladonna2443]

Literally. Even the crowd knew that was insane

[@carolineblueskies]

KILLED IT! literally have chills

[@benloperfido5781]

Same

[@robcook4500]

I know nothing about dance and even I know this is what perfection looks like lol. Amazing

[@ernielsu]

Their technique is EVERYTHING! Sooo good! 😮❤

[@momster64]

Absolutely beautiful turns, the synchronization is so fun to watch!

[@millybassett7676]

This was an incredible performance and they picked the perfect song for it. Fantastic job that everybody did!

[@l4xd36]

Those turns were VIOLENT and I fricken loved it!!

[@duchessstudioband7896]

Beautiful. They have brought honor and hard work to this state

[@mostlyvoid.partiallystars]

I can’t even with yall. Watched it twice and still cry each time. Perfect music and choreography and y’all effing NAILED it. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@lizaleonhardt8837]

This is a beautiful callback to the first routine I fell in love with of theirs from 2004 ❤

[@jodiegenovese4105]

Never knew this existed until now. This performance gave me goosebumps ❤

[@Spoiledbabe1011]

Absolute chills every time I watch this. Icons- every one of them

[@DnewNancy]

I'm a LSU STAN... but can't lie. This was excellent.

[@stacyfaddoul]

My absolute favorite! Just incredible precision coupled w/a Little Rock-n-Roll! Exquisite!

[@kayleabiland9070]

And these chills are why I miss dancing and regret not trying harder to be a choreographer ABSOLUTELY AMAZING job to not only the dancers but the choreographer as well. BEAUTIFUL WORK

[@aliyagotabag628]

Literally cried that was amazing they dance w all their emotion 😭😍💫

[@bbarsell]

brought me to tears, insane and so so so well done

[@JenniferHunt-f6y]

Outstanding!! Kudos to the dancers, coaches and the choreographer!!

[@emmathompson7349]

it was self choreographed by the team!

[@clcooper452]

HOLY SH*T!!! That was amazing! Well done everyone. I held my breath, waiting for something to go wrong and .............. NOTHING did. CONGRATS TEAM!!! M-I-N-N-E-S-O-T-A!

[@georgemunoz7191]

My favorite college dance team since 2004 when they performed the same song! 👏

[@lauralangham9657]

I'm impressed, I didn't even know where to look, there was so much going on at the same time.

[@jessicadavies1487]

Absolutely amazing!! So beautiful!! Killed it Minnesota!!!

[@StewNWT]

One thing I am always wonderfully amazed by in a lot of NCAA and American college sports and dance and cheer is just how fucking HYPE and full of enthusiasm and crowd support everyone is. It’s pretty awesome

[@mterri6]

AMAZING!! Goose bumps!

[@zhukov41]

woahhh that synchronization was crazy! at first it i was like this is gonna be a messy dance, but no! Great job Minnesota, hope they got 1st

[@charlespelletier1246]

Extraordinary. Made my head spin.

[@lemmeborrowthttop]

I was a dancer nowhere near on this level and I was also a gymnast so trust me when I say believe this is some crazy athleticism

[@MommeeMadre1]

Hit the settings icon and allow the video to .75 or .50 THEN MARVEL at how tight this routine is! Well done!!!

[@caitlincunningham8354]

They all were amazing but I liked watching the boy the best 🔥

[@karenpanasewicz]

I CAN'T STOP WATCHING! Good lordy! Incredible technique and holy smokes Batman... who did this choreography? Genius! I'm thinking many of these dancers are from Larkin... one of the finest studios I've judged. ( and that was 25 years ago... Unforgettable!)

[@ashleylifgren319]

I heard they choreographed themselves!? That’s what people have been saying ..

[@terribelgard2480]

Unbelievable Performance!!

[@lovesgb1]

If they dont win i will be absolutely shocked

[@jaydenken3]

Well 😅

[@ericmead1737]

Sick! That was unbelievable!

And the fact they choreographed it themselves. Just how

[@lisaseibukan]

That was so phenomenally good it made my eyes leak!

[@dougb170]

Nice work done by a synchronized, choreographed group of gymnasts and ballet dancers. Not unlike what some Chinese troupes have been doing as impressively well for many years. Good cheers from the crowds, too.

[@NB_Earrings]

Effing amazing!! Go U of M. So proud of you!

[@KINGKAOS518]

Bravo. Minnesota gets second and goes viral. Ohio wins and nobody is talking about it. Should tell the judges all they need to know.

[@mdmrealty1754]

Just amazing

[@corrindickerson7368]

What amazing talent

[@nicoleolson1962]

Robbed of the win, I think they deserved to win jazz too, but what done is done. Congratulations MN🎉

[@janvan113]

I had no reason at all to watch this. Just clicked on it. And was mesmerized. Each of them were absolutely perfect. That is talent and dedication. Bravo.

[@monicahope3615]

Beautifully executed! Surprised not to see a single POC though.

[@williamclark1244]

University of Minnesota demographics: 59.6% White, 10.1% Asian, 6.13% Black or African American, 4.93% Hispanic or Latino, 3.87% Two or More Races, 0.355% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.0611% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders. With these numbers not surprising. They are all technical dancers and they can't have anyone standing out and POC's naturally bring flavor with them. The only one that really stands out is the one guy.

[@epicrandomness101]

Amazing!!!!

[@Vagabonding_i_guess]

the crowd is so loud you can barely hear the music lol

[@antontronbon]

i screamed when they all did an aerial out of a turn…and continued turning wtf

[@dancinggrandma2023]

I love how the girls embraced the only male guy when walking off. So sweet.

[@sdwilsn]

can you imagine the judges panel not picking them and then see how viral this performance has done on the internet, hardly anyone is watching the winners routine

[@ChubbyUnicorn]

Wow. Just. WOW. 😮

[@NFL294]

Now a national story ❤

[@g1savo]

WOW!!!! Absolutely unreal in every way.

[@darbyvolk7948]

Amazing!! And it's nice to see a man be part of the team.. not a man posing as a woman to be part of a female dominated sport of cheering. I hope more male dancers/cheerers join the team

Please tell me how this didn't win ....like. I know that one girl was late on her turns..but Im sorry this hands down was better then ohios... ohios was just blah.. boring...I literally stopped it..I was like ummmmmm🤔

[@tracyrosset9640]

Your right!! Way technically harder and absolutely 100% more precise!! Ohio on had 1 turning sequences and no Ariel’s into turns. Blind judges

[@tracyrosset9640]

I agree

[@ThrillRider247]

@@tracyrosset9640 right ...we did like 4 sets of turns...Ohio did what like one .I'm like gurlll ..💯💯🤔🤔🤔 the only reason they won't..it's because Travis wall chero it..so what now we can have actual dancers chero it..hey uofmn let's get brian fieldman to do ours next year or even Travis 💯💯👌👌👌

[@lalaangel888]

They had point deduction bc a dancer step out of floor after the turns, Ohio didn’t have any step outs.
