MCC Dance Company qualifies for 2023 national championships with slew of camp awards

The MCC Dance Company will compete for a sixth consecutive national title next April after outstanding performances at camp to secure a silver-paid bid to the 2023 NDA National Championships in Daytona Beach. The squad impressed the judges at NDA Camp on the campus of Southern Methodist University to become the first MCC team to qualify for nationals in 2023.

MCC claimed first-place finishes for its division in both the Team Dance and Game Day performances. Additionally, sophomore Kaylee Lunch and freshman Gabby Lizama were named NDA All-Americans, and freshman Mackenzie Steede received the Top Gun Turns Award.

Earlier this month, six members of the squad competed at UDA camp on the campus of Texas A&M University. The group brought home Superior Awards for Game Day Performance and Routine Evaluation, and received the Collegiate Recognition Award voted on by the other teams for being great ambassadors of MCC.
