Women's sports are often overlooked when considering the world of athletics. The dance team at Loyola University Chicago attends nearly every event for the school's athletic department. On top of their own practices, they have to juggle academics, internships, personal endeavors and participating in other sporting events to bring energy to the games. Not just anyone can take on these challenges, and the girls of the team are ready to share how they do it.

Thank you to Jessica Tuquero and the dance team coach Gina Parenti for allowing me to film their practice and speak to more of the team members.
