Dukettes Dance Team Spring 2025

The Duquesne Dance Team is the official dance team of Duquesne University.

Our completely student-run team is comprised of 15 dancers who put countless hours into the team, both on and off the floor! The team performs at football and basketball games at the university throughout the year. The Dukettes also work hard to compete nationally in April in Dayton Beach, Florida, at the National Dance Alliance Collegiate Championship. The Duquesne Dukettes hold the Title of the 2021 Virtual Team Performance Division I National Champions. The team competed in the Division I Jazz category as an entirely student-run program at NDA Nationals 2023, and competed in finals in 2024! They are excited to take the NDA stage again in April 2025. The Dukettes are hardworking, driven and have a passion for competing, performing and support the Dukes. These dancers are not only focused on the floor but also strive to show excellence in the classroom with majors ranging from Business, to Nursing, to Health Science, and more!

The Dukettes are very dedicated to supporting our Duquesne athletic teams and community. The Dukettes cheer on the Duquesne University Football Team as well as the Duquesne Men and Women's Basketball Teams. The Dukettes engage and entertain the crowd to help boost school spirit. The Dukettes also hold a clinic to show what the team and life at Duquesne is like each semester for current and prospective Duquesne students. They also show their Duquesne spirit year around by participating in various campus events like the Homecoming parade!

Why we need your help!

There are a lot of expenses that go into competition at NDA nationals. There are flight costs, transportation costs, registration fees, choreography costs, costumes, hotel costs and much more that all of the Dukettes have to pay for out of pocket. Not to mention all of the other costs throughout the season such as NDA camp that gets us our bid to nationals, uniform costs and gear costs to name a few. Your donations will help lighten the burden of our Dukettes having to pay for these things so any and all donations are greatly appreciated!
