If you’ve ever been to a CU Buffaloes football game, you know the energy is electric. The roar of the crowd, the intensity on the field, the sea of black and gold—it all comes together to create an unforgettable experience. But let’s take a moment to talk about the unsung heroes of game day: the CU Boulder Dance and Cheer teams.
These performers aren’t just there to fill time during breaks or wave pom-poms. They’re athletes in their own right, bringing precision, artistry, and an infectious energy that elevates the entire atmosphere. Whether it’s a perfectly synchronized dance routine or a gravity-defying stunt, these squads put in hours of practice to make every moment count.
What strikes me the most is how they bridge the gap between the players and the fans. They’re the heartbeat of the stadium, keeping spirits high even when the scoreboard isn’t in our favor. Their performances are a testament to CU’s spirit—resilient, dynamic, and full of passion.
So next time you’re at Folsom Field, don’t just watch the game. Take a second to appreciate the dancers and cheerleaders who pour their hearts out to make game day what it is. Because without them, it just wouldn’t be the same.
