In the final seconds of her routine against Michigan State University, Arizona sophomore gymnast Kennady Schneider left the McKale Center crowd with something to talk about. She fell to her knees and did a popular dance move, the Dab, to a thunderous applause from the crowd and her teammates.
The choice was spur-of-the-moment and was never originally part of her floor choreography routine, according to Schneider.
“At our first home meet, I was just really happy with how I performed, so I just decided to do it on the spot,” Schneider said. “I didn’t tell my teammates and my coaches didn’t know it was going to happen, so it was the highlight of my season so far.
