Every spring semester, Floor 13 dancers and their guest performers bring the fire and adrenaline to the Memorial Hall auditorium, showcasing diverse pieces choreographed by the student dancers on the team.
Floor 13 is a student-run hip-hop team at Chapman that hosts an annual show called Mosaic. At this year’s show, they featured many styles of dance including hip hop, contemporary, heels, semi-classical and tap. The guest performers that joined Floor 13 on stage this year were Twilight, Chapman University Tap Ensemble (C.U.T.E.), Soundcheck, Kapamilya, ChapTones and Chapman Dance Alliance (CDA).
The Panther got a look behind the scenes and into the spotlight of the annual Mosaic show where all of the dancers' hard work and passion came together as they hit the stage.
