Tiger Dance Program
Purpose
While the cheer team is oriented toward traditional cheer activities, the Sensations show spirit combined with modern hip-hop dance skills. On the court and sidelines at every men’s and women’s home basketball game and various special events, the Sensations bring fun, spunk, and energy. Their purpose is to support athletic teams and campus organizations at Texas Southern University. They also attend community events and partake in activities designed to help themselves develop as a student, dancer, and an overall good citizen on campus and in the community.
