About Us
We hold auditions in September in order to place each dancer into a group according to their experience/ability. Each dancer can audition for as many styles as they would like. We have 3 levels for dance company: grey, green, and white. This ensures that all dancers feel welcomed and can have the opportunity to perform at a level that is comfortable for them!
Dance Crew is open for anyone at Loyola to join! Dance Crew is a fun opportunity for people of all levels of dance experience, even if you have never danced before! The dance crew choreographs a Hip Hop routine that is performed at our end of semester showcase.
