Dance

The Emmanuel College Dance Team (ECDT) fosters campus spirit and pride through their game day presence and performances at signature campus events. As the college's primary spirit team, ECDT dancers embody the heart and soul of the Emmanuel community. Each year, ECDT is represented by a select group of dancers who compete in the DIII/Open Hip-Hop category of Varsity Spirit's UDA circuit.

Co-Head Coaches Alyssa Aughenbaugh '19 Megan Costa '19 lead their 5th season with the Saints. Over their tenure, the Saints have solidified themselves amongst the top dance programs in New England, securing 1st place wins at the New England Cheer and Dance Competition (2021, 2022, 2023) and the Endicott Invitational Dance Competition (2023, 2024, 2025), claiming 2nd place at the DTU New England Regional Dance Competition (2024), and both 1st and 3rd place victories at the DTU Collegiate Virtual Championship (2024 and 2025, respectively).

All funds raised this season will reduce the costs of our athletes' trip to Orlando, FL for their debut at UDA College Nationals in January 2026, and fund the planning of our annual end of year Showcase in April 2026. Please consider supporting our dancers as they take on another groundbreaking season and follow ECDT on Instagram for regular updates!
