Evolution Hip Hop has been growing and reinventing itself since we started. Started way back when in 2000 by the Chinese Student Association, we've been dancing our hearts out and trying to get known and out there. It's been a tough battle and we're still hanging in there. To this day, we're steppin' it up, keepin' it fresh, and bringing the competition. Our hopes and dreams are to be fully established in the dance scene reppin' UCR and the 951 alongside our friends of 909. And as of April 17th, we have now one step close to achieving that dream by placing 2nd to Formality LV at the recent competition, the first annual Pulse Dance Competition! 2007-2008 CABINET Managing Director ....

"I started my time with CSA Evolution almost a year ago (2005-'06 team) and have looked back on it with pride & accomplisment. I had only been with the team for a year and must say it is something I will remember for the rest of my life as part of my college career. What I have learned on Evo will only help to carry me in my life's endeavors. The teamwork, hard days & nights of practice, diligence, and team bonding. Evo 'til this day is still around because of the passion of each individual that chooses to express their love for dance, and to persevere on a team like Evo proves that this dance troupe has the potential to make it to the top and show everyone that we're here to stay. So much thanks and appreciation to the '05-'06 cabinet for working hard w/the team, it's vision, and believing in me." ....Warley "Being on Evolution has given me the opportunity to experience college in a whole new perspective. It's hard at times and I've felt physically and emotionally weak but it was during these times that I've learned to stay strong and pull through and in the end, all of our hard work paid off. Dancing is so much funner if you're performing in front of a crowd because people look at you and admire you for what you love to do.. I think that's awsome. I love the whole team despite whatever circumstance come upon us." ....Gianne "Throughout the time being on evolution, I learned a lot about perseverence and dedication when times became rough. The most important is that the team stick through it together. There is no "I" in team. As long as we support each other and cheer each other on, all that hard work will show through at the end." ...Dorothy "Evolution is what i started out with. Since then, i've grown so much and am wanting more; more for myself, and more for this team. I've realized that Evolution can be one of those teams in the game with the right guidance. It's just a matter of time. This team has so much potential. I hope it never dies out." ....Teri "Being on Evolution for the past 2 years has taught me a great lesson. Never give up on anything...for real...don't give up. You can do so much in a year...and you'll never know if you don't try. So, all in all...KEEP TRUCKIN!" ....John
