The objectives for the Lionettes Dance Team are:

History

The Penn State Lionettes Dance Team was founded over ten years ago as a kickline team. In 1995, the group became a club sport and current Dance Team Advisor Sue Sherburne joined the team in the spring of 1997. Since then, she and former Academic Advisor Don Ferrell have helped the team to gain campus-wide recognition at athletic and community events. Most notably, the two advisors helped the Lionettes to move from the stands of Beaver Stadium to the sidelines during the football game.
