The ULM Hawkline consists of up to 14-22 dancers. This number may fluctuate from year to year given the needs of the team. The ULM Hawkline performs jazz, hip hop, and pom dances throughout the year for different functions. Hawkline performs on-campus at many events including but not limited to football games, basketball games, the Miss ULM Pageant, Holidays at ULM, and pep rallies, as well as special appearances throughout the community. Hawkline practices on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons, as well as 6:00 AM workouts on Tuesday and Thursday mornings during the Fall and Spring Semesters. The Hawkline may also attend summer camp with NDA, as well as ProAction dance if funds are available.
