Dancing took center stage at the event. From traditional cultural dances to modern fusions and hip-hop, there was dancing of all sorts everywhere and it was a sight to see. Kappa Phi Lambda and the Male Asian Cultural Society (MACS) battled it out in a step routine that was fun and lively. Set in detention, both groups went back and forth to prove who could out dance the other. The ladies of Kappa Phi Lambda turned heads with their sharp, fast-paced movements completely in sync while blindfolded. Not to be beaten, as the lights came on the MACS revealed themselves adorned with white masks and gloves as they stepped together in a fierce routine. In the end the battle was a draw as both groups stepped their hearts out. It was clear the performers were having a great time on stage and the audience loved watching them.
The Nepalese Students Association put on a traditional, yet intriguing performance. Dressed in rich reds, golds, blues and greens, they glided across the stage in what seemed an effortless fashion that created a truly beautiful vision.
Showcasing their culture's unique dance, the Filipino American Students Association put on a great performance. Male dancers wore head dresses and sarongs as they moved across the stage with wooden poles. Meanwhile, the women put on quite a show by balancing woven baskets and stacked pottery atop their heads. If that was not enough, they also danced while continuing to balance, never dropping a single basket or pot.
Adding some spice to the show, the Iranian Association performed a sultry cultural dance that got the audience shaking their hips along with the performers.
