The ULM Hawk Line Dance Team consists of a very talented and diverse group of young ladies who are chosen each spring by a special audition.

Any students currently enrolled at ULM or classified as incoming freshmen or transfer students are eligible to audition. Students in college (including transfer students) must have and maintain a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average and maintain full-time status in order to audition for the line. Previous studio dance training is highly recommended.

Most of the girls on the line were members of their hometown dance studios and high school dance lines. All students chosen for the ULM Dance Team receive a scholarship starting at $1,000. The scholarship increases $200 every year the dancer returns. Out-of-state fees are waived for any dance team member not from Louisiana.

The team participates in all home games for the football team and the men's and women's basketball teams. In addition, the girls have the opportunity to support the teams during post-season tournaments.

Each year the dancers participate in several university and community related events including:

• homecoming activities
• the Miss ULM Pageant
• Mardi Gras parades
• as well as other athletic events and student life events

Being a dance team member is a major commitment. In addition to performing at the games and special appearances, the team practices 3 - 4 times a week.
