Penn State Infusion is hosting its third annual dance competition. Nine dance teams from across the United States will come to Penn State and will be competing for a bid to Bollywood America, which is a large dance competition that will be held in Phoenix, later this year. The competition will take place at 6 p.m. Saturday in Eisenhower Auditorium. Student tickets are on sale for $7 and non-student tickets are on sale for $15. Prices for the latter will be increased if purchased at the door. Hosting the competition is the 2014 Miss America winner, Nina Davuluri. Davuluri performed a Bollywood dance during her time competing in the Miss America pageant. “Everyone around her in her life told her don’t do a Bollywood dance for the talent portion because it’s a very stereotypical thing,” Kajal Jaggi, sponsorship director of Infusion, said. “She didn’t listen to them, she still followed her dream, did the Bollywood dance and she still won Miss America, so that’s why we decided to go with her.” No Penn State teams will be represented in Infusion’s competition — rules state that the host school is not allowed to have its own teams compete at the competition, said Jaggi (sophomore-management). “Luckily we have a lot of members from the Penn State team who help out with committee and everything, so they do have experience with the dance competition,” Jaggi said. The nine teams competing in the competition are ASU Andazz from Arizona State University, Broad Street Baadshahz from Philadelphia, Euphorek ADA from New York City, Boston University Jalwa, Delaware Kamaal, Penn Masti, Rutgers SAPA, Spartan Zaariya from Michigan State, and UC Dhadak from the University of Cincinnati. There will also be two exhibition acts during the competition. Penn State’s Urban Dance Troupe, which won Penn State’s Best Dance Crew competition earlier this year, will be one of the exhibition acts, said Gitanjali Bhushan, public relations director of Infusion. The second exhibition act will be children of the State College community who will perform a dance on stage, Jaggi said. One member of Jadhoom, a dance team at Penn State, is involved in Infusion and said she is excited for this year’s competition. Divya Panackal is a liaison for visiting teams. This year she will be working as the liaison for Broad Street Baadshahz. “I have seen [Broad Street Baadshahz] before and they were amazing, so I’m so excited for Infusion because they are going to kill it again,” Panackal (sophomore- management information systems) said. A lot of work goes into hosting the dance competition at Penn State. Infusion selects a new executive board every May, for positions such as registration, public relations, sponsorship, finance, tech production and hospitality. The board works throughout the entire year, planning every single detail of the competition, Jaggi said. Committee members are selected later on to be liaisons for the visiting teams, helping the teams throughout the weekend, while the board members are working on backstage production. Leading up to the competition, committee members also help with the mixer. This mixer is a dinner held the night before the competition for the teams, said Bhushan (sophomore-immunology and infectious disease).
