Sugar Bears Dance Team

The UNC Sugar Bears Dance Team was developed in 1976 as a student-run program as a way for students to continue their love for dance and performing while in college. In 2023, Sugar Bears officially became a part of UNC athletics and continues to support UNC athletics by creating an exciting game-day environment for all Bears fans. The team is made up of 16 - 20 dancers and performs mostly Game-day, Pom, Hip Hop, and Jazz style routines. The mission of the UNC Sugar Bear Dance Team is to support, promote, and represent the University of Northern Colorado through the proper promotion of school spirit, pride, tradition, and student involvement while also creating a safe space for our student-athletes to develop skills in leadership, coaching, and professionalism.

The Sugar Bears Dance Team performs alongside the Pride of the Rockies Marching band during the football season creating fun and exciting halftime routines.
