April 18, 2010 Diversion Dance group put on a spring concert, which was held at Pease Auditorium. I was able to attend the concert and capture some footage which is posted up above. Before the event started we were giving a little history on Diversion dance group. They were started and founded by a young lady named Mary Young in 1999, and every since then they have managed to be successful and well known throughout campus. Diversion is a dance group who dances to variety of music and art, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Rock and R&B.
The event was called Nature Disaster and each dance that were performed had a meaning to it. In the first video that you see, a young man which I wasn't able to film came out and did a speech about drinking and driving. This was something very important because every minute a student dies from having to much to drink at a party then driving home. It's a natural disaster also because everyone needs to cherish their life and make sure you are a responsible drinker, and making sure you have a designated driver.
Diversion, the dance group also performed to how the society has an huge affect on us. They presented to us how we let others influence us on how we dress, how we should look, and what's right and wrong. In the dance movement they made sure to let us know no matter what one may look like we are all beautiful. We all have beauty and we can be any shade of color and any size, society doesn't make you you, you make yourself the way you are. If you feel beautiful than you are beautiful. This peace was very touching and true, and being a college student I felt like everyone that was there was paying close attention. As a college student I know we sometimes feel like we have to look like our favorite celebrity rather than being comfortable in our own selves.

"I had fun, my roommates and I were invited and didn't have much to do so we went and it was nice," said Junior Kenesha Long.
There was at least 10 different scenes and pieces, and even though I captured only a little you can see exactly what I mean. I found it amazing how they incorporate dance to tell a story about life's many struggles, and that's what I wanted to capture in the video above.
