Louis	hip hop	Intermediate	Songs: Everything Was The Same – Fabolous Description: This is a hip hop piece that focuses on exploring and conveying the meaning of one song. This is a dance about the demons that live within us and our eternal struggle to tame them. Our demons are a part of us and no matter how many times we beat them, we’ll never be done fighting them. From the outside it looks like nothing was the same, but inside it feels like nothing really changed. video
Kere, Jenn, VJ	hip hop	Beginner/Intermediate	Songs: Bootylicious – Beyonce Check on it (Live) – Beyonce High School – Nicki Minaj ft. Lil Wayne get it in – iamsu Description: collabo! fun, mocha-ish style, no real storyline (yet) video

Maria Perry	contemp	Intermediate	Songs: Leave Your Lover – Sam Smith Where the Light Gets In – Sennen Description: This dance is about a journey. Looking for all guys, even (especially?) if you’ve never done contemp before! (But feel free to still pref if you’re a girl, I might take you if you’re really wonderful :)) video
Elenna Capote	contemp/jazz	Advanced	Songs: Royal T by Crookers and Roisin Murphy The Wolf by Fever Ray Description: This piece will be intense and powerful and sexy. Still thinking about a story line, but there will be some sort of power-play involved. There will also be lots of partnering. I’m planning on using long skirts and really playing with all the uses of those skirts in the dance. There will be some technically challenging moments but I am willing to consider less technical dancers if I think they can perform to the level that I want (especially for male dancers). video
Miles	contemp	Intermediate	Songs: Level Up – Vienna Teng Description: An uplifting dance about connecting with other people and supporting each other to become better and happier or whatever. High energy (endurance!), some partnering stuff. Yeah! video
Rachel Gaither	contemp	Advanced	Songs: Aha! – Pentatonix Description: Small, advanced piece with a strong technical basis that (slightly) breaks down as the song progresses and spirals into chaos. This is not emotive/angsty contemp though — think more powerful, confident, scary, twisted, etc. A lot of the movement and styling of the piece will depend on the dancers since it’ll be a small piece and I want to push the limits of what we can accomplish as a group :) video
Nicole Ozminkowski	contemp I think	Intermediate/Advanced	Songs: Anna Sun – Walk the Moon This is what makes us Girls – Lana Del Rey Track 5 (crashed) – Ryan Hemsworth Description: “This is a dance about that feeling you get when it’s 5AM and you just went skinny dipping in the charles. When you ran across campus in your underwear because someone told you it was a good idea. When you punted that pset and spent the rest of the night playing super mario bros. When you went to study with someone and ended up just talking about life until early the next morning. This dance is about that feeling when you’re like ““I think I’m kind of a fuckup”“ but you love it at the same time. Because fuck school let’s just live.” video
Annie Kuan	contemp	Beginner/Intermediate	Songs: Dear River – Kina Grannis Description: This is a super upbeat dance about venturing into the unknown (basically the woods) and discovering exciting new things! There will be quite of jumping, hopping, leaping across and around the stage. Think little kid energy. I’m looking for dancers who aren’t afraid to experiment a little with movement! Oh, and you’ll be able to smile in this dance! :) video
Sylvan	contemp	Beginner/Intermediate	Songs: Everybody wants to rule the world – lorde Description: A dance about the human element in society – basically an interpretation of the song. Confident, powerful, and intense, but devolves as the song goes on. video
Christine	contemp	Intermediate/Advanced	Songs: ride – lana del rey summertime sadness – lana del rey Description: technical contemp piece; want to experiment with contact choreo and formations. will start with everyone on stage but most of the time will only have 6 ppl onstage max. girls only, sorry boys. im seeing peach long pleated skirts but not sure yet. Part 1:video Part 2:video
