The American University Spirit Program consists of a cheerleading squad, an all-female dance team, and a mascot. Each performs at all home Men's and Women's basketball games and engages in philanthropic events throughout the community. The teams also support all other athletic teams at select events.

NCA/NDA COLLEGIATE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS: Both teams compete in the National Cheerleading Association (NCA) and National Dance Alliance (NDA) Collegiate National Championships every April in Daytona Beach, Florida!

If you are interested in auditioning for the Cheer Team or the Dance Team or have any questions, please email Spirit@american.edu.
