Instead of Carmel’s Best Dance Crew (CBDC), Global Giving is hosting a dance jam due to the lack of dance crews, according to Ryan Ringenberg, club sponsor and history teacher. The club hopes to have the event before spring break, although it is unsure due to the snow days.

Ringenberg said, “This is more in line with what the dance groups are asking for — less of a competition and less pressure regarding a full scale competition. They wanted more of a fun way to get together with other dance crews.”

According to Jessica Chiang, club co-president and senior, the dance jam will be different from CBDC in that it will not have select crews perform. Anyone, whether in a group or solo, can perform. Also, there will not be any judges, and the dance jam will be more of a talent showcase.

The money raised from this event will benefit the two charities, Operation Smiles and Ronald McDonald House, which Global Giving has chosen.

“The ultimate goal of this event would be to raise money for a charity but also to provide kind of an outlet for different groups to showcase talent,” Ringenberg said. “In the past years, we’ve raised over $500, so that would be the hope — that the event would bring in enough people to raise that much money.”
