[themecolor]Description:[/themecolor]

Hey what’s going on! My name is Michael Alejo. I am the President for the SWC Dance Club for Southwestern College. We are a club who loves to express our thoughts and feelings with the fundamentals of dancing. I am currently hosting a special event for our fellow community and I want you guys to join us in this exciting fundraiser here at Southwestern College. So, I need your help my stopping by and join on in with the fun of dancing; on top, getting a great exercise. We will also be selling water and Gatorade to help with your mouthwatering thirsty needs after a great work out.

Now, I bet you are wondering, “What is Hip Hop Hustle.” Well, Hip Hop Hustle was created by a wonderful instructor that goes by the name of, Chalene Johnson. It’s a program that makes you feel and look like a dancer with easy to follow moves and progressions to keep everyone “groovin” from the beginning to the end of class. Instructors will teach you basic movements that were portrayed in music videos and movies like, Step Up and You Got Served. Now, you were probably wondering that there’s no way that you are able to perform those exact moves like how they were in the movies. Well guess what…  NO EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED!  You just need a good heart and the love to dance! So, if you have the heart of a dancer and the love to exercise, or just wanting to have fun, come join us at Room 1006 at Southwestern College. You won’t regret it.

Sincerely,

SWC Dance Club President Michael Alejo

In 1999, Mr. Marshall found himself Departing for Dayton, Ohio to become a member of the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, and become one of its the premiere dancers. In 2001 Dance Magazine named Mr. Marshall one of its “25 to Watch.”
