UMass ALTITUDE (formerly known as UMass HHCO) provides an environment where dancers from all ranges of experience can elevate their skills through movement or knowledge. We hold dance workshops choreographed by student and guest choreographers from the Boston Area. In addition, we offer open practices at the UMass Rec Center for students to explore diverse dance styles.
UMass ALTITUDE also proudly produces the performance team, 5:Dirty Crew. 5:Dirty Crew is an audition-based group that holds weekly practices for its members. Throughout the year, 5:Dirty Crew performs at events within UMass Amherst, the 5-College Area, and the Greater Boston area. The crew has grown exponentially in the past couple of years and continues to recruit dancers of all backgrounds and experiences, giving their members a platform to grow together as dancers and individuals. Money donated to our club will be used for workshop honorariums, travel expenses for performances, and general team equipment.
