So you think you can dance? No? Same. Luckily, Cornell is full of talented individuals, and this week we’re dying to see BreakFree’s Showcase VIII: A Tribute. BreakFree’s motto is “Dance to Inspire” and their performances certainly do just that. In case you need a little more convincing than is included in this stellar sneak peek, here are six reasons to clear your schedule from 3-5pm this Saturday, May 7 so you can get your non-twerking butt over to Bailey Hall.
1. Steal some moves

You’ve already started hydrating for Slope Day 2k16 and now it’s time to start lining up your dance moves. BreakFree dancers definitely have all the right moves in all the right places, so take some inspiration from the best.
2. See their three guest performers

Not only will a ticket guarantee you access to killer dance routines, but you will also have a chance to be entertained by Yamatai, spoken word artist Eva Jahan, and a professional dancer and choreographer Gina Hong.
3. Add some songs to your favorite playlist

You can’t have a dance show without music. Dance music often has the best beats, so steal some of their tunes to sing to in the shower and get you through finals. (Pro tip: keep your program so you know which songs to download.)
4. Get out of the library

Finals aren’t for another week! We know, we know, it’s Cornell and it’s always crunch time, but you can spare two hours. Besides, a killer show will make for much more exciting college memories than the basement of Olin ever will.
5. Get some fashion inspiration

BreakFree has some amazing street style. Not only are the outfits on fleek, but you know they’re comfortable because of the way the dancers can still move. We’ll definitely be stealing some ideas.
6. Update your snap story

Just admit it: we all want the world to think that our lives are fabulous adventures. So get out, see an amazing show, and make sure to record it so that all your friends know just how cool you are for going to a school filled with so many amazing, talented people.
