CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Radiant Collection, from Procter & Gamble’s (P&G) leading feminine protection brands Tampax® and Always®, has partnered with HBCU Dance Corporation, Inc. for the second year in a row for the HBCU Dance #RadiantDanceOff contest – an online dance competition exclusively for majorettes at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). The HBCU Dance #RadiantDanceOff contest gives majorette teams across the country the opportunity to upload their winning moves to www.radiantdanceoff.com for a chance to win $20,000 and the uniform of their dreams. The contest, which was created to give majorettes the chance to show off their moves and fashionable looks, also shows women how confidence is the key to feeling radiant any day of the month.
“In the survey we conducted as part of the HBCU Dance #RadiantDanceOff campaign, we found that a quarter of African-American women say they avoid dancing, and 4 out of 5 black women sacrifice their personal style while on their periods,” said Melissa Suk, Tampax Associate Brand Director, Feminine Care at Procter & Gamble. “Through the contest, we aim to show women that with the right protection, periods shouldn’t cramp her style on or off the field; and she should be able to wear what she wants every day of the month.”
This Homecoming season, the HBCU Dance #RadiantDanceOff will bring the iconic HBCU halftime performance from the field to your phone, and alumni and fans can get in on the action from October 8 to October 22 by casting their vote for the majorette team they think runs the yard. Fans can also boost their team’s chances of making it into a top spot by using the hashtag #RadiantDanceOffContest on social media to encourage their squad to vote at www.RadiantDanceOff.com.
“We are beyond ecstatic to partner with the Tampax and Always Radiant Collection for the 2018 HBCU Dance #RadiantDanceOff competition. As some of the fiercest women on the yard, majorettes radiate confidence every day of the month and we hope to spread that #blackgirlmagic to women everywhere,” says Keelia Brown, President and Founder, HBCU Dance Incorporation, Inc.
In addition to the HBCU Dance #RadiantDanceOff, the Radiant Collection will hit the Magic City Classic in Birmingham, AL on October 27. At the Magic City Classic, attendees can stop by the Radiant Experience to check out one of the hottest female DJs in the country, snap a photo with their girls at the Radiant Photo Wall, win cool prizes, pick up a sample, and learn more about the benefits of the Tampax and Always Radiant Collection.
