Fifth-year Arts Education student, Megan Pearce was honoured
by her dance team with the 2016 Dedication Award. The
Dedication Award is awarded to someone who has contributed
their time and efforts as a committed team player and goes
above and beyond what is expected of them.
Quote from the Award Banquet: “The Dedication Award is awarded
to a dancer who has contributed their time and effort to the
team and goes above and beyond her duties. This year our team
… had coach athletes. Our coaches dedicated a lot of their
time to make sure this team had a successful year! One of our
coach athletes has been dedicated to the team for 4 years now.
We love having her as a coach and an athlete and wanted to
recognize her for all she has done for the team. The
Dedication Award this year goes to Megan Pearce!”
Megan majors in Dance and minors in Elementary Literature. She
is also working towards a Bachelor of Dance degree. This is
Megan’s fourth year on the University of Regina Dance Team.
The U of R Dance team is distinct from the U of R Cheer team,
though they both cheer and perform at the Ram’s and Cougar’s
games. The Dance Team focuses on contemporary and jazz
routines, and performs at sporting events and varsity dance
competitions across Canada.
Megan says, “This year, we traveled to Toronto to compete at
Strive Dance Challenge where our contemporary and jazz
routines placed fourth.” The team also performed at local
cheer and dance competitions, such as the Ice Breaker Cheer
and Dance Championships and the University of Regina
Cheerleading Championships.
“I have enjoyed each season with the U of R Dance Team as I am
able to continue and share my passion of dance while attending
University. The Dance Team has also provided me with many
opportunities to travel, compete, and improve my dancing
individually and as part of a group. I have made lifelong
friendships and enjoy being a part of a supportive team,”
says Megan.
