[@cassthedancer]

There are no words good enough to describe this...

[@jackiealex64]

[@megsyLOVESyou]

[@Raulong0]

IS IT WRONG THAT I COME HERE EVERYDAY TO SEE THIS VIDEO? :0

[@mKayglorious]

@hansxposed it's called "Drumming Song" by Florence & the machine. It's just edited a little (:

[@Kayladancer7]

This dance is inspiring to everyone who sees it. I am a dancer myself, and recovering from knee surgery that has put me off the stage for 4 months. This dance everytime I watch it makes me want dance more and more, and makes me want to work harder toward dancing again. This is such a talented group and every dancers dream of being champs, I will never forget this dance!

[@NorthDakotaGirl123]

My dream is to be on this dance team....

[@chanelist]

just amazing.

[@carolineblueskies]

thanks for uploading, this is the best quality video i've seen of this dance! love it!

[@megsyLOVESyou]

minnesota has the best dance teams of the entire US.

[@melinabanana]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE! it just looks like..unreal

[@Pablo11209]

This is so much better than the 45 degree , zoom in shots, ...flying overhead camera view when presented by Varsity TV, or ESPN before them. When will they ever learn?? Choreographers, directors, talk to them, enlighten them .

[@JoJoJaggy]

Wow :o

[@cassthedancer]

Does anyone know if the lift at 0:58 would be legal for a Minnesota MSHSL dance team? I just fell in love with it.

[@sdsdancer1]

YES SAUNDER TWINS!(: love u summit misses u

[@TheQueenshannon]

Once again, Karl Mundt does not disappoint. I always look forward to seeing what he has created. My students are fortunate to have had the chance to work with such an amazing artist!

[@DancerGrrrls]

those turns were amazing.

[@Eugenious123]

This is the best dance ive seen in my life amazing turns i love turns

[@chanelist]

@cassthedancer its illegal for MSHSL dance. part of the lifted dancer's body (leg or something) needs to be at waist level or below the lifter for it to be legal in mshsl

[@09Gtiger]

[@TheYoungStardom1]

[@lyssamonissa]

[@ericarapptor]

[@Eugenious123]

[@wanabdirector77]

@toetouchgurl it's called "Drumming Song" by Florence & the machine. It's just edited a little (:

[@Punk16Girl]

Great you can see their hard work. This is what high school teams should look to for inspiration to do even better.

[@barbarellagb]

WOW WOW WOW !! and holy cow.

[@IsaishaPerry96]

that was...AWESOME:)

[@dancemariah13]

wow!!! awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[@dancingpretty93]

what's the jump called at :31?

[@cutieedancerr]

At 0:31 its just a front stag with an arched back

[@TDance27]

What kind of camera was this shot with?

[@megsyLOVESyou]

@0liviaaax3 its a reverse layed-out stag :)

[@wanabdirector77]

Camera used was a Canon HF S21. The audio on this camera is not the best so I purchased a shotgun mike this summer for better audio. I am still trying to figure out the best settings for youtube for 1080i footage. There seems to be some smearing when viewing on highest viewing settings when youtube pushes video to be viewed at 1080p.

[@CitronKakan]

Oh. My. God.

[@NakaylaTHEPRINCESS46]

Fantastic! Where can I get the edited version of this song?

[@wanabdirector77]

@0liviaaax3 Sorry, can’t help identifying that move. I’m just a martial arts instructor with 2 daughters that were in dance. The moves I learned in father daughter dances before my daughters were in college were not even close to anything the U of M girls are doing. I am sure there is a dancer out there that can answer your question.

[@taryndancer29]

wow the dance teams are nothing like this in Canada, this is AMAZING!

[@Hairbykenz]

wow thats all i have to saY!

[@ichitafalls]

In my opinion, last year's routine was better, just from a raw passion and getting the crowd to feel it kind of perspective. But this is still a beautiful and technically brilliant routine from UMDT and a very well deserved first place win for it.

[@oOLadybibiOo]

The part where you all at the same time turning a pirouette gives me goosebumps

[@j2thehisho]

some of the best, not all. :D But U of M is definitely one of the best.

[@ThomasAshtonDance]

WHHHAAATTTTTTTT?!?! Unreal.

[@midwestladyy]

The bottom left 3 turning at 0:20 ... OMG
