California Live’s Danielle Nottingham chats with The Cardinal Divas of SC about being the first all-Black majorette dance group at the university and creating a space for Black culture. She joins the ‘Divas’ on campus to see some of the dance moves that have everyone talking.
The Cardinal Divas of SC, the University of South California's first all-Black majorette dance team, are taking the country by storm.
Majorette dancing is a tradition at Historically Black Colleges and Universities . Lang says it has its roots in Western African dance and also incorporates jazz and hip hop. The Divas instantly went viral after Lang tweeted a small clip of the group's first performance at the Coliseum. That tweet now has millions of views but has also brought some unwanted attention. The Divas have sparked debate over whether the HBCU tradition should have a place at predominantly White universities. "We knew once we did this we had to step out correct because we knew that it's from somewhere that's not originally from here," said Divas member Jada Walker.
