The University of Maine Dance Team The University of Maine Dance team is a team of women enrolled at the University of Maine who perform at football and basketball games on the University's campus. The group goes through an intensive band/dance camp one week before classes begin in the fall with the rest of the band. For eight days, the girls have practices from 8:00 AM until 9:30 PM to prepare for their season. At each football game the girls perform in the tailgate area outside the field, then on the field for a pre-game show, then on the field for the half-time show. While the game is being played, the girls are performing short "sideline" songs to the band playing.
