Slaínte, Fordham’s Irish dance company, shared Irish culture through both soft and hard shoe Irish dance, encouraging the crowd to clap along to their routines. Up next was Expressions Dance Alliance, Fordham’s inclusive dance company, whose Beyoncé dance medley was met with universal praise from the event’s large crowd. The dance segment opened up with Flava, Fordham’s hip hop dance troupe, who performed a very tight and enthralling routine to a number of rap and hip hop songs. The night then transitioned to dance-focused performances. The Satin Dolls, Fordham’s all-female a capella group, entertained the crowd with a variety of songs ranging from singer-songwriter to the biggest surprise of the night: a very crowd-pleasing and sing-and-rap-along performance of Fetty Wap’s “679,” led by Sahana Holla, Jessica Mannino and Laura Villaraut. Additionally, Adanze Unaegbu sang a stunning rendition of India Arie’s “I Am Not My Hair,” discussing the issue of external versus internal beauty through song and was concluded with major applause. Both B-Sides and the jazz-focused Hot Notes, co-ed a capella groups on campus, opened the night of performances with a variety of songs. There were a number of highlights present throughout the night. Here, numerous cultural and performing groups, including members of ASILI, Slaínte, The Ramblers, Satin Dolls, B-Sides and Hot Notes as well as individual performers, shared in both musical and dance performance over a comfort food dinner of macaroni and cheese, fried plantains, rice and fried chicken.
