2008 NDA National College Dance Team Competition: April 2008: The UNC Dance Team placed 5th in College Nationals! Congratulations ladies! They were the ACC Champions! In addition, read the following note directly from the staff of NDA/NCA:

"Exclusive to NCA / NDA, we dedicate a single award to the program in both cheer and dance that is the epitome of teamwork when it comes to their behavior at the NCA / NDA Collegiate Cheer and Dance Championship. This is the one award that the competition judges have no say or input. The NCA and NDA Staff nominates teams based on attitude and demeanor from registration, through to check-in, at the warm-up area, on deck, following their performance, and of course, their attitude throughout and following the awards ceremony. It's our hope that all teams will strive to perform with the highest standards in the spirit of Sportsmanship!"
