Presley, the "King of Rock and Roll." The motif of their performance revolved around paying
homage to this musical icon, evident through their use of Elvis's timeless hits. The addition of
90s-themed outfits not only reinforced the historical context but also added a layer of visual flair
to the overall theme.

Variations form and suite. This choice allowed them to artfully weave together different
movements and sequences, creating a cohesive and engaging narrative. The deliberate
incorporation of variations within the theme showcased their choreographic versatility and added
depth to the overall performance.

dynamic and visually striking dimension to their routine, showcasing a diverse range of
movements that contributed to the overall richness of their performance.

As the 2022 champions, expectations were high for a lively and energetic performance from the
NU Pep Squad. Initially, there was a moment of confusion, as the performance began in a clean
and organized manner, differing from the upbeat and prop-intensive routine of the previous year.
However, this initial confusion gave way to appreciation as the squad seamlessly executed clean,
organized, and successful stunts. The performance gradually built up in intensity, incorporating
hype-worthy stunts and music. NU Pep Squad stood out by showcasing diverse cheer dance
movements, avoiding dominance by dance alone. Ultimately, the overall feeling was one of
satisfaction, recognizing the squad's ability to deliver a well-rounded and compelling
performance.
