MEET PAUL JUCABAN:
Paul Jucaban has been in love with dancing since he was a child with his parents making him dance at his own birthdays. His first involvement with the socal dance community started in 2005 going to competitions and being inspired by teams such as CADC, Gen2, and Pac Modern to name a few. From 2006 to 2008, Paul danced and trained with Common Ground(Irvine) as well as helped direct their junior team Underground. In 2008, he founded and still currently directs his own crew Reality Check, with his two best friends Kayla Mallari and Matt Gutierrez. Currently, Paul has been a member of GRV since 2010 and is also an advisor for the junior dance team The ORGanization, based out of Garden Grove. Although, he is very grateful for every opportunity he has had through dance, it’s the kids he helps direct on ORG that have renewed his passion for dance. Through his various outlets of dance, he has been able to give back to the community he was first inspired by.

The Works Studio
$10 General; $8 w/ Student ID
Brandon Yang (Main Stacks) & Jimmy Nguyen (Velociraptors)

MEET BRANDON YANG:
Brandon started dancing in 2005 with the intention of impressing cute girls. It didn’t work. In his failure, he eventually learned to love dance to express (instead of impress) and he has been dancing ever since. You can often find him dancing in front of Zellerbach on late nights at Lower Sproul (he’s the one always dropping his ipod) or cursing the fencing team as they occupy the rec room in the RSF. Or better yet you can take one of his workshops.

MEET JIMMY NGUYEN:
Originally from San Jose, I grew up with little to none experience in dance. My first exposure came from watching YouTube videos and learning how to do the wave. When I came to Berkeley as a freshman, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to train with The [M]ovement, where my real passion for dancing started. Since then, I have been apart of campus groups such as Danceworx, Cal VSA’s Sriracha, and am currently dancing with the Velociraptors. I enjoy incorporating a lot of isolations into my choreography, but I’m also open-minded to other forms and styles of dance.

Christian Rodriguez (MS) & Mariana Martinez (TruElement)

MEET CHRISTIAN RODRIGUEZ:
As a toddler, Christian’s babysitting entailed his aunt teaching him dance moves from raves and clubs. Since then, Christian has been in love with movement and dance. Born and raised in San Diego, CA, Christian started hip-hop dancing his first year of high school. After taking a four year break, he picked it back up and joined Main Stacks of UC Berkeley in 2010. Since then, Christian has explored his love for dance, training under various choreographers and dancing for Main Stacks. With this being his second year on Main Stacks and first year on Velociraptors (UC Berkeley), Christian continues to explore his potential as a dancer and choreographer. He is frequently caught dancing at bus stops, in store aisles, and walking to class. He loves teaching and hopes to one day be able to teach a regular dance class for his community back home in San Diego. Christian is a student at UC Berkeley studying Integrative Biology and Music. Along with school and dance, this groovy, macaroni & cheese loving guy enjoys meeting new people, learning new things, and trying new food! He hopes to, one day, meet you!

MEET MARIANA MARTINEZ:
Growing up in Oakland, Mariana Martinez started her training as a dancer at the age of six. She has performed and choreographed for various companies around the East Bay including the Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company and New Style Motherlode’s Diamond Dance Company. During her time as a Cal student she has performed with Main Stacks and the [M]ovement and has been Co-Coordinator for Truelement for the last two years.
