The walls were radiating from loud (and incredible) performances, and '11 cheers, throughout Cultural Expressions tonight. 11 (good number, eh?) groups of Dartmouth students showed off their talents and hours and hours of hard work on the stage in Commonground as part of an evening of fun events tonight celebrating the end of Dimensions and of your acceptance to the college.
Each of the groups phenomenal in their own right, each had a character and style that they were eager to present to the prospies and their friends in the audience. Ujima and SHEBA rocked with their hip hop dance moves, all student-choreographed, while Occom Pond, a Native American Powwow drum group captivated the crowd. The Dartmouth Chinese Dance Troupe and Hokupa'a. Dartmouth's Hawaii Club, beautifully showed off their rich cultures with their dress and dance moves, and the Rockapellas, Dartmouth College Glee Club, and the Gospel Choir brought down the house with their voices. The belly dancing was my absolute favorite; I am sad for those of you that will miss graduating senior Dunya Onen's ridiculously-hot talent. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.'s step show was also impossible to glace away from, even for a second. Their energy was infectious; once they hit the stage, the show had reached the point of no return.
This was the best performance nights I have ever been to at Dartmouth.
