CHICAGO – The Roosevelt cheer and dance teams are hosting a showcase Sunday at 2 p.m. for its national-championship-winning programs at the Goodman Center.
The Lakers will welcome cheer and dance teams from across the Chicagoland area as a preview for the teams' trips to Daytona Beach, Fla. next month for the NCA and NDA Championships. Among the schools coming to showcase their routines are DePaul, Illinois State, Northern Illinois and UIC.
Roosevelt cheer is the three-time defending champion at the NAIA Intermediate Coed Level, but will be taking the step up to Division II this year. The dance program won a national title in hip hop last year and will be bringing their team and hip hop performances to the Division II level this year.
