High Kicking Dance Team by John Larson, FPSA, GMPSA

February 2025 - High Kicking Dance Team

About the Image(s)

At the women and men’s Penn State basketball games during timeouts the Penn State dance team members come out to keep the fans entertained. The dance team members are known for doing a high kicking routine which usually ends in them performing in unison a split. At my advanced age I would find it somewhat difficult to get up from such an exercise. I like the expressions on these ladies faces.
