What is a dance team exactly?

Hey y'all,
So I've had about 51,679 questions about our new program, The Goldsboro All-Star Dance Team... which is totally normal. It's new, it's different, it's exciting, and there's some unknowns to it. I'm here to help shed some light.
So college dance teams are built on school spirit and are dedicated to supporting the university and athletics. Where this is going to change for this all-star team in particular is that this team will be built on regional spirit, meaning Wayne County and Goldsboro pride. We, of course, will support Goldsboro by performing at events and giving back to the community. The dancers will serve as ambassadors for their team throughout the community and dedicate themselves to the celebration of dance for all to enjoy.
The emphasis is teamwork and dancing in unison when performing. It's heavily based on technique, which is why we will require you to attend dance class at a studio outside of the all star team. I'm going to share with you some of my favorite dance team videos in different genres...
First up... lyrical/contemporary...
Secondly, this classic LSU hip hop routine...
Third, and possibly my favorite, this mesmerizing jazz routine...
And lastly, this precise pom routine from the University of Minnesota...
The Goldsboro All-Star dance team will learn routines in all 4 genres but we will be a bit picky when deciding what to compete, utilizing and highlighting the groups strengths as a group. Remember, the interest meeting will be April 28th at 4pm and the audition day is April 29th at starting at 4pm. It's open to all dancers in Goldsboro/Wayne County and surrounding areas ages 8 and up. I hope that answered some of your questions and if it didn't feel free to comment them below.
Until next time,
Megan
