The goal of UMass ALTITUDE is to spread the positive aspects of dance. We strive to be an inclusive community whose focus has grown to explore varying genres of dance within the Five College and Greater Boston area. As an organization we value self-expression, creativity, and a sense of community. We strongly believe in every individual having the capability to dance if they are willing to learn. We hold dance workshops choreographed by student and guest choreographers from the Boston Area. In addition to holding workshops and events, Altitude proudly produces the performance team, 5:Dirty Crew. 5:Dirty Crew is an audition-based group that holds weekly practices for their members. Throughout the year, 5:Dirty Crew performs at events within UMass Amherst, the 5-College Area, and the Greater Boston area.
