Tuks athlete hip hop dance team win gold medal at the USSA Cheerleading championships

The athletes of Tuks University hip hop team secured gold in the USSA Cheerleading Champs. 

The team cruised to victory with their two-and-half-minute routine. 

Sipesihle Ngamlana, Tuks athlete team coach, described the team’s performance as amazing!

“We only started the choreography in the week of the event. It looked like a lot of pressure, but the way the team handled it was really incredible. We were able to produce a gold medal-winning performance from four days of hard work and consistency,” he said, not bad for a coach who didn't know much about the sport. 

“Regarding the tournament, the maximum for the large groups was 24, and the minimum was 12. The one thing that makes a dance crew really great is the number of people. The more people, the better it looks because if you could see every single person doing the same at the same time, it looks magnificent. You could stop all of them and take pictures of each and every person, and everyone would still be doing the same thing behind or next to the person,” he said.

Ngamlana commended Lutendo Tshikwatamba their choreographer, for the assistance he gave the team as he is not that familiar with street when it comes to hip hop. He also applauds the athletes for giving their all and mostly enjoying it too which led them to taking the top prize
