Nault Member Of CMU Dance Team

2017 Oct 5

Central Methodist University student Savanna Nault, from High Ridge, Mo., has already been wowing fans on the sidelines at football games and during halftime performances, as she and the rest of the CMU Dance Team gear up for competition season.

The team recently took on its first-ever exclusive head dance coach, Brenda Parisi, who has significant dance experience from Lindenwood University in St. Charles, and Francis Howell Central High School in Cottleville.

Prior to Parisi coming aboard, the team was under the direction of head spirit squad coach Terin Fuemmeler, who heads the co-ed cheerleading team and mascots.

Last March, Central's Dance Team made it to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Competitive Cheer and Dance National Championships, where they placed in the top 10.

This academic year, the Dance Team has already been busy. They attended the National Dance Alliance (NDA) camp in August and placed third overall - only being beaten by NCAA Division 1 and 2 schools. They also received a paid bid to NDA College Nationals in Daytona Beach, Fla.

In the weeks to come, the Dance Team will be learning routine choreography, as they prepare for their first competition at the end of January.

Nault is a senior currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics at CMU.
