The Illinettes is the official dance team of the University of Illinois.  Comprised of twenty-eight girls, we are a precision dance corps which focuses on pom, funk, jazz, and dance routines.  We are a very fast-paced squad learning a new field show, fully choreographed each week during football season.  Not only are we the official dance of the University, but we are also the dance team of the Marching Illini.  We practice approximately eight hours per week with the MI as well as at least four additional hours on our own.  We perform squad-choreographed routines at half-time of all home football games with the Marching Illini, cheer/dance on the sidelines, and travel with the band to one away game each year.  We are very grateful and would like to thank the Marching Illini for its support and all the opportunities we're given!
