909 Dance Troupe

We, the members of 909 Dance Troupe (formally known as 909 Hip Hop Dance Troupe), at the University of California, Riverside, in conjunction with Hip Hop’s core principles, strive to honor Hip Hop’s roots in Black culture and to further the development of dance through both educational and social means, with the cooperation of administration, faculty and students. In 1997, the seeds of Hip-Hop were planted at the University of California, Riverside forming 909 Dance Troupe. Representing Riverside, CA, 909 opens its membership to all dancers in the community. For 29 years, 909 has created an image that is recognized and respected for its connection to underground hip-hop music. Although the team has evolved throughout the years, 909 respects its roots in underground hip-hop and continues its expression to the masses through originality, unique styles of music, and the art of dance. “Strength in our roots, power in our number: 909.”
