Why MCIA: I always knew I wanted to join a dance team in college, so MCIA was one of the top choices. But what drew me in initially was the first performance I watched, where I enjoyed the diversity of styles and I could just tell everyone was having so much fun on stage. As I attended the workshops and after events, I found that there was a really tight knit community and bond. This is what made me really want to join the team because I realized I was looking for not just a dance team but a dance family. All love🙂‍↕️
