Was all you wanted for Christmas a chance to see NYUDT perform a Christmas dance in Santa hats??
Well luckily for you, that was also Christine and Alisha’s only wish this year. They were so sad last Christmas when they didn’t get a chance to perform a Christmas dance for the NYU community to see.
This year, Santa Claus came to town early and gave NYUDT a chance to perform the one and only Ludachristmas routine. Here it is for your viewing pleasure – we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
You can also watch our 2nd performance on Facebook here!
And an early holiday present from NYUDT! Another sneak peek into one of our practices:
