Established in 2004 by co-founders Brian "Big-B" Amigable, Kirk Arradaza, Tommy Pham, David "Q-boi" Quach, and Jeff Calimbas- Common Ground is based at the University of California, Irvine. CG is comprised of both UCI and non-UCI students, bringing together a unique diverse group of dancers from all over Southern California. Our team strives to show how much passion and love we have for dance and the hip hop community. At the same time, we maintain a family environment by hanging out together, caring for each other, and sharing the desire to dance.
We all may come from different backgrounds, lifestyles, precedence, or means...
but one things is for sure...
dancing is our COMMON GROUND.
common ground: (n.) Shared beliefs or interests. A foundation for mutual understanding.
For those interested in being a part of Common Ground, our main auditions are held around the month of October and again halfway through the school year in February.
Common Ground was awarded BEST MIX at the 2nd Annual V.Ent Dance Awards!
