<p>Every university has a college dance team, but I'm wondering if W&M have a HIP HOP dance team?</p>
<p>For example... if you've watched America's Best Dance Crew, Kaba Modern is a hip hop dance team of UC-Irvine--but not the dance team that cheers and games and so forth.</p>
<p>Any idea? I tried to Google it; it didn't really help.</p>
<p>I'm wondering that too. I would like to know if there is breakdancing team?</p>
<p>Here's a listing of W & M's clubs and student organizations: Student</a> Activities - Clubs and Organizations
There's one called the Student Hip Hop Organization with this description: "a group whose purpose is to network with W&M's thriving hip-hop community and to utilize hip-hop as a tool for creating unity within this culture on campus. Students can share and showcase their talents, love and passion for the culture and music." This group doesn't appear to have its own website (many do), but there's an email contact listed. </p>
<p>There are LOTS of dance opportunities at W & M via student organizations, including Bhangra, English folk dancing, Irish step dancing, tap, ecumenical dance, breakdancing (click on Bboy Club on the link above), etc. The official dance team that performs at W & M games is the Tribal Dancers - some of their routines are on youtube. Orchesis is the dance department's modern company, which chooses members based on a fall audition.</p>
<p>My d is a freshman dance minor who has been very pleased by the breadth of dance offerings at W & M. Not much in the way of ballet offerings, however.</p>
<p>I just found this.</p>
<p>YouTube</a> - the SYNDICATE Spring 2006 Finale</p>
<p>Is this "hip hop dance team?"</p>
<p>Yes! Glad you should ask.</p>
<p>I myself am part of the Student Hip Hop Organization. This started at VCU and was started up here last year by a fellow classmate. We try to promote hip-hop around campus, setting up concerts and parties and such. This past semester we had U-N-I, who won a MTV VMA for Best Breakout Artist, come from Cali and give us an awesome show. The VCU president has a blog website at ::</a> students of hiphop :: .</p>
<p>I'm also part of the Bboy Club (good news to you Painholic). We just started this year and almost all of us are new, so we are a work in progress but we are making great strides. We had a show this past fall that was very successful for us. How long have you been breakin' Painholic?</p>
<p>And lastly yes, the Syndicate is the hip-hop dance team crew. That video is in real bad quality lol...the shows, once a semester, are always sold out and there are try-outs once a semester. My roommate is in the Syndicate and I have a few friends in there too.</p>
<p>There's also Bhangra team, which specializes in the Bhangra dance, obviously...and their shows are very popular two...but it's not easy to get on their team...I know a couple of people on there too.</p>
<p>LASTLY, there's also Pointe Blank I believe that does modern dancing or a mix of dancing. I have not seen their shows so I can't tell you much about it.</p>
<p>Any questions...just ask!</p>
<p>I'm just a Freshie, so I haven't seen most of these groups perform, but I have seen the Bhangra Team. They are amazing!</p>
