Maple Valley native Megan Hoy, a student at Central Washington University and member of the CWU Dance Team, is one of eight CWU dancers featured in a Staples back-to-school TV commercial airing nationwide.

Hoy, who is studying elementary education at CWU in Ellensburg, and the other dancers earned their four seconds of fame and $1,000 after winning a video contest where dancers were asked to put their own spin on the original dance move called the shopping cart. The team, wearing CWU gear, shot its portion of the commercial at the Wildcat Shop in the Student Union and Recreation Center on campus.

It was one of three groups chosen out of 118 applicants.

The 15-second spot is available to watch online, as well the full one-minute routine submitted by the team.

The Dance Team is a CWU collegiate sport club that performs at CWU athletic events and homecoming activities and at events in the Ellensburg community. The group focuses on jazz and hip-hop styles, while also incorporating pom and kick.
