Underground Crew
"Helping to mold the lives of young adult dancers"
Read what Underground Crew members have gained from their experience on the company.
"Aspiration. A hope or ambition of achieving something.
Being apart of underground made me realize the true meaning of aspiration, being able to dance with so many other dancers and having the opportunity to travel to Colorado, having the opportunity to perform for various people who have never seen me dance, having a life changing performance like the one we did for Ghana, created the HOPE in aspiration that I sought, the HOPE to be able to change and make a difference in people's lives, for me UWD created that ambition for me to want to be successful, it gave me that drive to want to share what this company has with everyone else. I have gained the aspiration to want to share my dance in a whole different way. Aspiration."

"With Underground I've learned how to strive and to embrace the thirst for knowledge. I am learning new things every practice and it inspires me to keep pushing and absorb as much as I can from everyone because everyone has so much to offer."
-Justin Katoa
"From being on Underground I have learned that confidence is something I have to create myself. Letting go of my pride & being able to laugh at myself when I feel so extremely uncomfortable in a new style has made me such a better dancer & a stronger person. I have also learned that there are so many talented people here in Utah with so much to give! All these dancers are unique & have something to share."
-Bradi Nelson
"I've learned to be clay not rock. Clay is moldable, allows for growth and evolution. The shape changes, but the substance stays the same. The dance, the people, the show changes...but the passion stays consistent."
-Tia Aiono
"I learned that it is possible to get a long with other dancers even though the style they do is different from yours. I learned friendship and trust. UG taught me that the outside of my comfort zone isn't as bad as it seems."
-Tonga Lavulo
"I have learned that it's impossible to stop learning. Each and every person you meet brings something new to the table - a new style, a new outlook, new inspiration, new background, and so much more. The dancers on Underground have opened my eyes to so many different styles, and it's beautiful to watch and be inspired by the passion each individual has. Through Underground, I have experienced how powerful it is to be a part of a group that celebrates something beyond themselves. The energy that radiates from each dancer has created such a strong group connection, and has facilitated an environment where there is no failure, only growth, and no judgment, only love."
-Courtney Schneider
This year I have been living by a quote that has helped me stay really focused on what I want.
"If you can't figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For you passion will lead you directly to your purpose."

"This year, my passion for creating and my passion for artistry has helped me to live for what drives my ambition... And Underground is my passion."

"Being on underground, I have assured myself that dance really is my passion. There's no more doubt. No more worries. Dancing around all these talented people with so many unique styles has really cemented that for me. The joy you guys bring me through dance and friendship, how did I get so lucky?! I'll never forget this team and these months we've been through!"

I've learned a lot being on underground and to me it's about taking the initiative. I had to think twice before taking action and now I feel more confident in myself. I've grown as a dancer and more into a man because of you guys. I can prove it through my dancing. Thank you.

What is Five Buck Friday?
Underground Crew spends a lot of time giving back to the community. This year, they started an after school dance program at the Guadalupe School. Every dancer who shows up to teach classes at the Guadalupe School, is a volunteer that is able to make a difference. They have also started visiting Elementary Schools, hosting assemblies that bring a positive message for children.
"Five Buck Friday" is a chance for our own supporters to help us accomplish our goal of raising funds for the upcoming show, OFF THE WALL.
"Five Buck Friday" is a great opportunity to help make a difference and keep our program thriving.
