Dance Competition!

Doesn't it look like it's taken straight out of a scene from West Side Story?

     Last Saturday, the International Student Committee went out to a break dance competition.  Sean, a CMU student from Saudi Arabia, was competing.  The competition took place in a large warehouse which looked straight out of one of those Hollywood movies.  You know the ones where a few young people decide they want to dance, work super hard at it for a long time and then make it big?  Yeah.  Those ones.  The competition was set up as a tournament, in groups of two dancers each.  The groups went up against one another in one minute dance breaks.  It looked very competitive and the dancers did a really good job.  

     The ISC works hard to create activities for the international students as well as anyone who wants to join their group.  It is a part of CMU's student council, which operates many committees including the Doxa (student newspaper), Peace and Social Awareness Committee and Social Activities.  Student Council also owns and operates the well-used coffee shop on campus, which is run by student volunteers.  

     We're about to start a new week of classes over here, and personally I'm looking forward to Ministry Quest, which is an event CMU is putting on next weekend.  More on that later!
