Cabrini College has received a very prestigious honor. No, it has nothing to do with academics but something even better, Beyoncé! Thanks to the dance team, Cabrini College has been place on the list of The Most Beyoncé Colleges.
According to the website, ”Her Campus,” Cabrini was listed as the sixth most Beyoncé College in the nation. Last year the dance team’s routine was all Beyoncé. Only Beyonce songs like Upgrade U, Single Ladies and Get Me Bodied were used for the routine. They even used some choreography from Beyonce’s music videos.
Other colleges that made it on the list are much larger in comparison to Cabrini such as the University of Houston, New York University and Columbia University to name a few. So now the question is how Cabrini College got spotted for its Beyoncé style.
Dylan Takats, a junior marketing major who is also a part of the dance team, has no idea how all of this came about. According to Takats, “Our coach was the first one to tell us about making the list. We all have no idea how they found out about our Beyoncé routine.” But having all of this being a surprise just made the dance team even more excited about the honor. Takats said, “It is really cool because Cabrini doesn’t get a lot of recognition but they got noticed and it is all because of the dance team.”
After getting the sixth spot on The Most Beyoncé Campus list the community service the dance team does is pointed out. Helping out with Special Olympic events and teaching dance are just some of what the dance team has done. Doing community service is something that the dance team has fun doing. Last year they did more than the required amount for a club on campus. These good deeds are what makes the dance team a reflection of Beyoncé’s image. Takats said, “Beyoncé is a nice person at heart; she is really down to earth so we try to stay down to earth.”
The dance team is already making sure the Beyoncé spirit is alive and well while they are practicing in the dance studio. Each member of the dance teams has a practice shirt with a Beyoncé song quote on it. In regards to living up to their honor, Takats Said, “ We will definitely continuing it, believe me.”
