About the Red Hotz
History:
The Red Hotz has been the competitive dance team at the University of Georgia since August 29th, 2001. It was founded as a club sport by Devon Bollman to represent UGA dance on a National level. Entering its eighth season this past August, the Red Hotz has become a large part of the UGA tradition by performing at events on campus such as Tailgate with the Team, Dawgs After Dark, etc. The team thrives in a competitive environment and competes several times a season, including NDA Camp and NDA College Nationals. The Red Hotz provides the much-needed outlet for dancers to continue developing their craft throughout college.
