The Movement

I LOVE [M]ovement!
the best 3 years of my life at berkeley :)
join join join hip hop/​jazz/​swing
some of the members have branched off into a competitive dance group also if you are interested: Main Stacks.

One of the best dance groups at UC Berkeley specializing in hiphop, jazz, and swing!
This is not a professional dance group, but a great student dance group that puts forth amazing performances throughout the school year. I would say it’s hard for beginners to make it in (unless you’re just that talented), although they do hold 3 – 4 free workshops throughout the semester for everyone to participate in! However, if you enjoy a challenge or LOVE dancing, they hold auditions every semester (usually within the first 3 weeks of school on a weekend… they will flyer on lower sproul and all over so you can’t miss it)! They are looking not only for talented, fun and skilled dancers, but also true performers that people will simply enjoy watching. FACIALS, remember, FACIALS #)$(*#@!! Usually 200 – 300 people audition for hiphop, and much much fewer people make it. You need to re-​audition every semester even if you were previously in [M]ovement.
In my opinion, Movement is most renowned for it’s creative and fun hiphop routines, though jazz has really improved in recent semesters. The jazz routines are also great to watch (how does she do that double turn with her legs held next to her ear?@#) and very shexy. Swing is fun also for those who enjoy that genre, though personally I am a hardcore hiphop fan :)
Finally, their semesterly showcase (2 shows with all three genres and guest performers) ALWAYS sells out. That tells us 2 things:
1) They heyla good.
2) Get yo damn tickets early (from a fellow [M]ovement friend, or from lower sproul towards the end of the semester)
Movement rocks my socks!
