Hot Ice was more in sync than the other teams and ol' girl kept dancing even though her stockings came down! I agree with musicdance42 about the leg straightening. Cleaner lines can make any dance look better. My vote is for Hot Ice on this one though! :)
Bein' from NSU myself of course I would want to go with Hot Ice, but honestly I will have to say all the dancers did well. They put a lot of hard work into those routines so yes havin' pride for your school's band/dancers is important but also havin' respect of others teams is important as well.
Wow, Hot Ice went back into their "greatest hits collection" with that motorcycle entrance (Battlefest 2005)...Good routine tho. I like the new direction they are going into with Ebony as their new coach...Golden Delight is still handling their business at the Top of The MEAC...The Military feature was on point. Those ladies work HARD to do what they do. Essence had a nice feature also, but the show belonged to Hot Ice and Golden Delight...
NSU rocked it! They had everything....they were fresh and new, was on point with technicality, athletic ability and spirit. I really enjoyed watching them.
@annebeth66 This battle took place at NSU. So keep in mind most of the people there were there to support them. Plus having local resources, like the bikers, were an advantage they had.
This was a 3way brawl for all. I use to dance years ago and VSU had better turns, more technique. But NSU had the entertainment value and is the one I remember of the 3. Being memorable and entertaining go a long way in the brawl, which is why I gave the win to NSU. Plus NSUs band rocked the house and the crowd loved it.
Oh My Goodness. First off, round of applause to all dance lines. They looked fabulous and dance so lovely. I'm at a loss for words here. Hot Ice is starting to look like the Hot Ice of old. Very intricate dance moves!!! A little risque at times, but the attention to detail was unmatched. They looked almost like a dance crew with some of the transitions. PPride aside. If VSU or A&T had doen it up, I would've given it to them. I almost expected HI to be slaw. but they surprised me!
I rarely post about videos - as a NSU Alum and former band member. I just want to be positive. All Schools VSU, NCAT & NSU did a great job Friday Night. You can tell that every school influences anothers. VSU - reps the CIAA well!! NCAT & NSU Hold it down! These young people are doing their thing!
speaking from a ex dancers view, im all about clean dancing. Golden Delight was clean and very theatrical, i do agree that Hot Ice was more entertaining and their level of difficulty was nice, it could have been a little more cleaner, essence of troy a i think looked like high school. I hate squads that do more walking than dancing, and I just cant with flexed feet. I get on my girls all the time about that. But all in all, nice vid. Gotta give it to Hot Ice tho.
nsu was the best:) i liked when it started to get fast and they started to buck and then did like a hip hop dance.they mixed different types of dances into one which was awesome!!! they stole the spolight;) the entrance was very creative so i knew it was the best.!!
VSU brought the sex appeal, but NC A&T had the best dancing, NSU just had the theatrics with the motorcycles an costumes, I didnt care for the dancing. So NC A&T won.
@SimoneEOT Leave it alone Simone. Some folks "biasness" has clouded their eyes in seeing real talent. Some of these comments coming from "alumni" is quite ignorant. It's one thing to show pride, but downing other programs to make yours look good is NOT the way. As I see it, each squad brought something different to the table and NO routine is bad. Job well done to all. #essenceromeo
Hot ice been doing this routine since i was in high school and I'm about to finish my freshman year. It's about time they kill it if they been doing for over a year. A&T has my heart, so I'm going to support them, plus they were really good anyway.
No competition....NSU were on point in comparision to the others....Although all had room for improvement, NSU was the best out of those three!!! Kudos!
Two weeks ago all three squads performed at a competition at NCA&T .... needless to say VSU won 1st place and NSU won 3rd place. NCA&T were exhibition. The clips are on youtube...Asymmetrix indoor nationals competition...
To sum this up...as far as technique in a routine Golden Delight was the best, toes were pointed and overall it was a clean dance. As far as a crowd pleaser NSU all the way because we all know that the "general crowd" could care less about technique, not to say that they didn't have any cuz there was some difficulty; I thought NSU's routine was very fun and energetic. Last but not least VSU was in between, the squad is much better than it was about five, six years ago. Jus my opinion...
@Jamesdd2 What technique did GD have?HI gave you leg lifts, split, the spins ( i dont know the dancing term) , energy. GD was doing moves HI did in the past. GD moves were no more technical than VSU and NSU.
I was there... and it just depends on what you like... A&T showed the most actual dance technique and versatility. They Carried out a theme and stuck to it... For Me... All NSU did was street dance, booty pop, and splits... they were good.. entertainment wise. VSU should have stayed home.
On Second thought...I gotta give it to VSU. Their transitions are complicated and 90% of the feet are pointed! They look classy and costumes are all on one accord.
@4of14 No there is no other clip. I'm saying if I would have put together a 15 minute clip, many people wouldn't sit and watch the whole thing. So, I put snippets of each dance team and wanted to be fair and alotted time a piece as well as which parts of the routines I showed.
From a technical stand point NCAT was the best. I really liked VSU's routine too; they were clean and precise. Usually I love hot ice but I hated this routine. Looked more like a music video than a dance squad. Everything they did was executed good; but it was not but but booty shaking and splits for the mos part.
Well I'm no expert on dancing, but GD is so delightful to watch. But I do love Hot Ice as well. On music however... LOL at the Behold from A&T. It's ok to want to be us. I like the medley however, so I'll give it to yall on this one with NSU in second and VSU 3rd... not that they sounded bad.... Just not as good as the other two bands lol.
@blueice17 They all have talent which is true but its what you do with the talent i.e Choreography and presentation. You have to know which routine is appropriate for a battle. Hot Ice is very technical but they choose the proper routine for the occasion that will give them the "W". Golden Delight just started doing themes and having non traditional dance costumes..after Hot Ice been doing it for seasons. Everyone is influenced even Hot Ice its no harm..,HI learned how to battle after HU in 99
it obvious that many people who know nothing about dance or technique are commenting but GOLDEN DELIGHT def took the cake on this one as far as theatrics choreography technique and over appeal by a long shot now if we are judging this but hit ices sex antics and high school talent show tricks then sure they did well GD went with an sexy yet mature & classy approach and thats why they are and always are amazing & do well SN scarlet lace wssu did the motorcycles 2 yrs ago GD is always origional
If I'm the Judge, Essence of Troy did a great job, Golden Delight was good and Hot Ice was blah. I came to see a battle people! EOT and GD knew that & brought the technic, Hot Ice gave me a cheapy rendition of the ride video. Both EOT and GD were 90% in unison and flowed nicely. Hot Ice, this is the collegiate level, stop giving me these HS/dancing in my room/comfort zone routines! I understand pleasing the crowd but I've seen you do way better! Loved the MJ field routine from a few yrs back
Most of these ladies need to spend some more time in dance class (Ballet and Jazz classes particularly!) Hot Ice...Nice attempt, I appreciate the effort but you gotta come harder. I'm split between EoT and GD. EoT's routine was much earier (technically) but they looked good foing it and they had some difficult lifts. GD had a technically harder routine but WAY TOO many flexed feet and bent knees for me to say great job! Keep Working Ladies!!!
The routines from Hot Ice and Golden delight were *nice*, Hot Ice did not give me that wow factor as they always do(like the "oh Shit" expression"), and Golden delight I was expecting a burst of creative sunshine from you guys and all I got was blah...I was really disappointed in both =-(
I would say Golden Delight or Essence of Troy they had great technique and were origanal even though they routine from essence of troy was kinda predictable... Hot Ice Ciara called she wants her Choreography back....
NCU just seemed a little to risque and like they were moving to fast, it looked like some of them were rushing through the moves. VSU was good and so was NCAT.
Hot Ice was more in sync than the other teams and ol' girl kept dancing even though her stockings came down! I agree with musicdance42 about the leg straightening. Cleaner lines can make any dance look better. My vote is for Hot Ice on this one though! :)

NSU KILLED IT! They put a lot of work into that routine
I am a fan of NCATs Golden Delight but have to be honest and say that NSUs Hot Ice won that, hands down!
Agree... Miss Dee better check them for some Dancing dolls moves.
NSU rocked it! They had everything....they were fresh and new, was on point with technicality, athletic ability and spirit. I really enjoyed watching them.

I LIKE THEM ALL.....BUT MY FAVORITE IS THE LAST GROUP.....THEY GAVE ME LIFE
NSU. Everybody did good BUT NSU killed it. They entertained me.
VSU had the best dancing&the last group just had the best tricks.#VSUWins
what up
nsu was the best:) i liked when it started to get fast and they started to buck and then did like a hip hop dance.they mixed different types of dances into one which was awesome!!! they stole the spolight;) the entrance was very creative so i knew it was the best.!!
NSU, they are really good, they had some class and were original with the bikes.
Um NSU did have a great routine however i feel as though NC A&T took their routine was way more technical and they looked good doing it.
Mii choice is between VSU & NSU!!!
VSU brought the sex appeal, but NC A&T had the best dancing, NSU just had the theatrics with the motorcycles an costumes, I didnt care for the dancing. So NC A&T won.

Hot ice been doing this routine since i was in high school and I'm about to finish my freshman year. It's about time they kill it if they been doing for over a year. A&T has my heart, so I'm going to support them, plus they were really good anyway.
I was also looking for the "none of the above" box.
BEHOLD THE GREEN AND GOLD!!!!!!!!!!! NSU KILLED IT!!! I love my school!!!!
No competition....NSU were on point in comparision to the others....Although all had room for improvement, NSU was the best out of those three!!! Kudos!
Two weeks ago all three squads performed at a competition at NCA&T .... needless to say VSU won 1st place and NSU won 3rd place. NCA&T were exhibition.
The clips are on youtube...Asymmetrix indoor nationals competition...
Nsu got that, they were most synchronized. 🙌🏽💯
LMAO!! HAHAHAHA WT haha whoever thought to put that behold lick in there was genius , funniest thing i have seen since i have been watching bands
To sum this up...as far as technique in a routine Golden Delight was the best, toes were pointed and overall it was a clean dance. As far as a crowd pleaser NSU all the way because we all know that the "general crowd" could care less about technique, not to say that they didn't have any cuz there was some difficulty; I thought NSU's routine was very fun and energetic. Last but not least VSU was in between, the squad is much better than it was about five, six years ago. Jus my opinion...
Vsu for class and beauty, a&t for booty and black ice for dance. Overall is VCU
you meant VSU
Hot ice not black lol
From what I see in this clip I am going to have to say NSU rocked this one!
@Jamesdd2
What technique did GD have?HI gave you leg lifts, split, the spins ( i dont know the dancing term) , energy. GD was doing moves HI did in the past. GD moves were no more technical than VSU and NSU.
NSU hands down originality and creativity
I just want to say A&T cleared that Doing the Behold Call out and btw Yesssssss Ashley from NSU you're Killing it girl
I go hard for Golden Delight, but handz down it goes to NSU's !!~~Hot Ice~~!!, then NC A&T's "Golden Delights", and then VSU's, "Essence of Troy"...
The second group or the last.. can't decide .. I liked them both for different reasons
I was there... and it just depends on what you like... A&T showed the most actual dance technique and versatility. They Carried out a theme and stuck to it... For Me... All NSU did was street dance, booty pop, and splits... they were good.. entertainment wise. VSU should have stayed home.
NSU HOT ICE had it from the entrance all the way to the end. They got the job done.
On Second thought...I gotta give it to VSU. Their transitions are complicated and 90% of the feet are pointed! They look classy and costumes are all on one accord.
I see you E2( Erica Anderson) and Barbie! I love you guys! I miss dancing with yall! BTW you all look really good! :)
@4of14 No there is no other clip. I'm saying if I would have put together a 15 minute clip, many people wouldn't sit and watch the whole thing. So, I put snippets of each dance team and wanted to be fair and alotted time a piece as well as which parts of the routines I showed.
My brother goes to NSU!!!!!!! He plays in the band so he was there that day and NSU won so my vote is NSU!!!!!!!
From a technical stand point NCAT was the best. I really liked VSU's routine too; they were clean and precise. Usually I love hot ice but I hated this routine. Looked more like a music video than a dance squad. Everything they did was executed good; but it was not but but booty shaking and splits for the mos part.
I didn't see any technique from Hot Ice, anybody could dance like them. Golden Delight has my vote!!
The gold & black team their Ciara's ride/work routine was ridiculous!
Nsu, they actually were like dancing and corporated cierra moves into their dance
VSU had the best dancers hands down, NSU did a music video with motorcycle props. Props do not equal dancing.
Well I'm no expert on dancing, but GD is so delightful to watch. But I do love Hot Ice as well.
On music however... LOL at the Behold from A&T. It's ok to want to be us.
I like the medley however, so I'll give it to yall on this one with NSU in second and VSU 3rd... not that they sounded bad.... Just not as good as the other two bands lol.
GO SIMONE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (VSU) GO LATIFAHHHHHHH.!!!!!!!!!!!! (NSU) My lakeland high school band sisters fa life
@blueice17 They all have talent which is true but its what you do with the talent i.e Choreography and presentation. You have to know which routine is appropriate for a battle.

SN scarlet lace wssu did the motorcycles 2 yrs ago GD is always origional
hot ice did they thing they win overall but vsu wasnt playin either cuz they stayed true to the forn of j setting... great job ladies!!!!!
Hot Ice
What was the song after Hot Ices Ridin by Ciara
AGGIE PRIDE...YES THEY PUT IT DOWN....YESSSS
If I'm the Judge, Essence of Troy did a great job, Golden Delight was good and Hot Ice was blah. I came to see a battle people! EOT and GD knew that & brought the technic, Hot Ice gave me a cheapy rendition of the ride video. Both EOT and GD were 90% in unison and flowed nicely. Hot Ice, this is the collegiate level, stop giving me these HS/dancing in my room/comfort zone routines! I understand pleasing the crowd but I've seen you do way better! Loved the MJ field routine from a few yrs back
I THINK IT GOES TO THE SWEETHEARTS OF THE MEAC GOLDEN DELIGHT!!!!
NSU took that hands down
what up
@Jamesdd2 : Hallelujah to this cuz they have been kinda bad for some years now so it is a relief to see them look like something. GD all the way!
@Rich Blackman were is that college?
1. Hot Ice
2. Essence of Troy
3. Golden Delight
I'm tell the truth and nothing but the truth. NSU
nsu won this no questions asked. golden delight and essence were good but hot ice seemed more precise and grabbed my attention.
What are the songs nsu played I kno ride and one more
NSU most def won
HOT ICE ALL DAY...THEY ROCKED ...AND WERE MORE ON IT THAN ANY !!!!!!!!
Kudos 2 NSU cause they dead ass killed it!!!!!
NSU easily...i forgot the others' performances
NSU handsdown Allday , but they were all good!
Golden delight , some of the moves tht hot ice did , i was like -____- !
HOT ICE got that shit all day, but i like how NCAT crunk that intro to Behold! Too hilarious!
i think NSU might got NC A&T this time ...their entrance set the bar pretty high
Hot ice was the best!!!!! but NC A&T had the best outfits to me!!
what was the first song NC A&T played???
"Not Afraid" by Eminem
Love the Hot Ice routine
I'm glad someone else realized that NSU did Ciara's whole video
that behold motif threw me off
NSU! Loved it
Most of these ladies need to spend some more time in dance class (Ballet and Jazz classes particularly!) Hot Ice...Nice attempt, I appreciate the effort but you gotta come harder. I'm split between EoT and GD. EoT's routine was much earier (technically) but they looked good foing it and they had some difficult lifts. GD had a technically harder routine but WAY TOO many flexed feet and bent knees for me to say great job! Keep Working Ladies!!!
GO NSU HOT ICE!!!
i love my NSU
@LovelyE91 hey girl it me e2 i miss u too hunni!! i better see u on omebody squad next season!!!
The routines from Hot Ice and Golden delight were *nice*, Hot Ice did not give me that wow factor as they always do(like the "oh Shit" expression"), and Golden delight I was expecting a burst of creative sunshine from you guys and all I got was blah...I was really disappointed in both =-(
nsu was clean precise with placements and whoever says the other teams were better must not know dance.
I would say Golden Delight or Essence of Troy they had great technique and were origanal even though they routine from essence of troy was kinda predictable... Hot Ice Ciara called she wants her Choreography back....
nsu intro was cute and that was it !! all 3 teams can use some help.
I thank nsu got it but when a&t did da intro to behold the green n gold I wuz weak
Hot Ice slayed
hot ice were the most in sync but was this supposed to be hip hop or like jazz? hip hop then hot ice, jazz then VSU!
NSU all day that bike entrance was NICEEEEEEEEE #ICE
WAIT A MIN ....EVERYBODY GO LOOK AT 14k vs. NSU and come back to this and you'll see what I'm talking about
Golden delight will forever be my favorite but....NSU wins, in my opinion
Yeah I'ma have to give that to NSU they killed that ish foreal
BEHOLD THAT GREEN AND THATT GOLD!!!!!
dam they all did good
From this video clip NSU took it home!
@legion2004 : I have to agree with you on this one, 14k doesn't even use technique these girls are in a different league...NEXT
@4of14 I'm sorry for the "little airtime", but to ask someone to sit and watch a 15 or 20 minute video is a bit much...
NCU just seemed a little to risque and like they were moving to fast, it looked like some of them were rushing through the moves. VSU was good and so was NCAT.
NSUUUUUUU OMG SO AWESOME SO FYE.. i CAST MY VOTE
nsu did have a very entertaining dance thats all i can say about it though i like it
dey tried it wiit dat behold taq..lol @ 2:41 sounding BADDD
