Angelettes Dance Team Wins National Title

The 12-member ASU Angelettes took first place in the Collegiate Division II Hip Hop competition to win the national championship. They also finished as second runner up in the Collegiate D-II Jazz competition and in the Collegiate D-II Overall standings. They posted the highest scores in team history on their way to winning the team’s first-ever national title.

Lauren White “As an Angelo State and Angelettes alumna, I am extremely proud to see this team excel far beyond anything I would have imagined,” said Lauren White, head dance coach. “It means a great deal to be a part of this experience with each of these individuals, and I am so excited to see how much we can grow and achieve together in the future. Last year, we were a team of only four members attending ADTS Nationals as spectators. This year, we were able to compete in two dance categories and bring a national title back to the university. Proud is an understatement.”
