International Freestylers Budget

FY2014 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014)

Mission Statement - The purpose of iFS is to allow students of the Carnegie Mellon Univerity community to share their interest and knowledge of dance, particularly dances pertaining to but not limited to those within the international hip-hop culture. All Styles of dances are welcome and are encouraged to take part in iFS. More diversity and integration of dances will enhance the experience each member has within the organizations. iFS is unique because it eliminates the need for auditions by accommodating as many students as possible and does away with the short-term quality of the current dance organizations by holding weekly meetings throughout the academic year. At the same time, iFS continues to remain purely recreational as it is free for all participants and non-committal for those who do decide not to perform. Furthermore, iFS fills the gap for those who are looking for a hip-hop oriented dance activity. Our mission is to provide an open floor to cultivate dancers' growth in the Pittsburgh area. Open to all styles of dance, with an emphasis on freestyle ability. We also host an annual bboy competition called Battlezone. We also have and will be hosting more dance workshops so be ready for those as well! Purpose and Objectives - To teach and encourage dancers of all level's to learn new styles of dance and develop their freestyling ability - To educate the Pittsburgh community on all the elements of hip hop, including M.Cing, Graffiti, DJing, and Bboying.
