Club Corner: Unpredictable: Can you Krump?

There is a phenomenon sweeping the nation: Hip-hop dancing. MTV’s America’s Best Dance Crew has helped throw this style dance to the forefront. Here at Millersville University, the hip-hop phenomenon is becoming more popular thanks to the student dance group, Unpredictable.

Unpredictable was started by Walter Parrish in November of 2002. They perform breakdance, hip-hop, pop lock, and krump among the various styles of the group. The dancers of Unpredictable are a talented group with endless creativity and liveliness.
Jared Mizrahi, Millersville University student and Unpredictable dancer, stated that the group can be described as “versatile, energetic, and confident.” In prospective members, they look for a unique combination of rhythm, talent, “swag”, originality, enthusiasm, and most importantly potential.

The group is comprised of 14 diverse students, but they are always looking for new members. Try-outs for Unpredictable are held at the beginning of each semester, and last for two days. New members are chosen by the current members as a whole. Formal training is not required; it is all about potential and raw talent.

Members of Unpredictable have had some really memorable experiences as a group. For example, they traveled to Cheltenham to learn from award-winning dance instructors from Zero Gravity Studio. For some members, their highlight is learning how to jerk. They have also recently performed at the Multicultural Showcase.

Practices take place twice a week. Unfortunately, they only get to perform about 2 to 3 times a semester at campus events, but they will on occasion take their performance to the streets. Anyone who wishes to try-out should feel free to contact any of the members. “We are a team that dances and performs for pure enjoyment and we look forward to showing Millersville what we got,” Jared Mizrahi said.
