About our Rebel Girls & Co.
The UNLV Rebel Girls & Company are the intercollegiate athletics Dance Team for the University of Nevada Las Vegas, who perform at all Men's Basketball and Football home games throughout the season. The Rebel Girls & Company's dancers must maintain high academic standards while training, performing, competing, and serving as ambassadors of the University at athletic events and throughout the greater Las Vegas community.
The hard work and dedication of the UNLV Rebel Girls & Company has awarded them 5 UDA Hip Hop Division 1A National Championship Titles, in 2013, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2023 as well as 5 UDA Game Day Division 1A National Championship Titles in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023. This program has also participated in opportunities such as performing on America's Got Talent, creating a dance collaboration with Red Bull Bracket Reel, traveling to Nanjing, China to represent team USA, and being invited to perform for the Las Vegas Aces, halftime for the NFL Pro Bowl, the NFL Draft, NBA Summer League, and the USA Sevens' Rugby team.
In addition to those mentioned above, our Company (all male dance crew) has competed in World of Dance Chicago and Las Vegas earning two 4th place awards and best themed dance. We are proud to announce one of our biggest achievements to date that is being back-to-back World Champions as the US National Premier Hip Hop Tea at the ICU World Cheerleading Championship.
Although the UNLV Rebel Girls & Company abide by NCAA rules and regulations, dance is not sanctioned as an NCAA sport, and therefore this dance team is not traditionally funded by the University. The student athletes must fundraise their entire operating budget in order to afford such expenses as traveling to and lodging at UDA College Nationals and other competitions, uniforms, equipment, training, choreography, etc. The dancers are extremely grateful for the community support they receive each year, and hope for continued support as they take on new opportunities offered during the 2023-2024 season.
