The University of Connecticut celebrated its 22nd annual Asian Nite on Saturday, showcasing the skills of 14 different Asian organizations, teams and clubs at Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts.The event was organized and conducted by the Pan Asian Council, which serves as an umbrella organization for the various student-run Asian clubs and organizations on campus. The Asian American Cultural Center, or AsACC, also helped organize and run the event. The theatre was packed with students and local residents alike, along with friends and family of the performers. Introducing the segments were hosts and organizers Sally Park, Jimmy Zheng, Tim Yang and Mair Chalupa, with the occasional quip or shoutout to the audience. The first group to perform was the Indian dance team UConn Surya, showcasing a blend of traditional dance styles such as Bharatanatyam and Bhangra, along with more contemporary hip hop and Bollywood. The act featured a backstory of two murderers on the run from the FBI, with the dancers acting out the various scenes. The second act was less thunderous and more heart-wrenching, with a soulful solo of the Chinese song ‘Against the Light’ performed by Yue Mao, in the original Mandarin lyrics. The audience waved cell-phone lights to the rhythm of the music, cheering for the student at the song’s conclusion. Third in line was dance group Shah Ru Conn, named after a famous Bollywood actor. Indeed, the group had an act worthy of any Bollywood musical, with the framing story telling a tale of woe, as a hapless boy breaks free of his manipulative girlfriend. Exclusive hip-hop dance group Illumin8 then took the stage, clad in street clothes and shaking the boards with a unique blend of hip-hop and breakdance to modern tunes.Next was UConn Sanskriti, showcasing some of the more traditional iterations of Indian dance. Clad in traditional garb and ghungroos (ankle bells) the group performed different styles of dance based on regional variations. “We practiced a lot.” Sanskriti team member Lakshmi Swami said. “We create the dancing together. We’ve all gotten closer practicing.”The Nepali Student Association then performed, in a “Battle of the Dancers” and tried to decide which was better: modern dance styles or traditional Nepalese moves. In the end, the two opposing groups reconciled in the name of helping Nepalese earthquake victims. - See more at: http://www.kantipur-video.com/videos/dubstephip-hop-and-nepali-folk-gurashai-fulyo/#sthash.AOsiOSra.dpuf
