Fresno State Dance Team
The Fresno State Dance Team - presented by Save Mart -Â is a competitive all-female team comprised of a group of talented individuals with diverse dance backgrounds and talents. These talents come together to entertain the Red Wave at Bulldog athletic events. At football games, the Dance Team primarily performs on the sidelines to tunes played by the Bulldog Marching Band as well as joining the band for on-field pre-game and halftime shows. At basketball games and select volleyball games, the Dance Team performs choreographed routines to recorded music which allow them to showcase their array of talents to entertain the fans. In addition to home athletic contests, look for the Dance Team to perform with the Marching Band at select away football games and post season Bowl Games and as an individual unit at postseason basketball events.

The Spirit Program consists of Time Out the mascot, the cheerleaders and the dancers. The role of each Spirit program member is to provide support to all university & intercollegiate athletic programs at Fresno State. Our primary responsibility is to support the athletic teams during their events. The program is seeking individuals who not only have advanced, collegiate level skills in cheer & dance, but also have great leadership qualities & academic focus. The demands of this program are extremely high. Successful candidates must balance practices three to five days a week, game coverage two to three times a week, community & campus appearances once a week, class schedules, school work, family, friends, and jobs. The priority for each member is academics, followed by the athletic commitment. Spirit members are expected to make the Spirit Program their next priority, even over a job.
