UC Berkeley AZAAD Presenting UC Berkeley's Co-Ed Fusion Hindi Film Dance Team... AZAAD! To contact us, please message Please like our page for updates on the exact timings!

UC Berkeley Azaad, referring to "independence or freedom", is excited to bring a fresh, new taste of Bollywood to Berkeley and beyond! The team is based on dedication, passion, and energy, with the primary goal of creating productions that entertain and motivate audiences to connect with the Bollywood culture. After thirteen years of collegiate competitions in the Desi Dance Network (DDN), Azaad has been extremely successful and has entertained audiences nationwide. Combining Indian classical, folk, and modern styles of dance with Western influences like contemporary and hip-hop, we take pride in our creative productions, as we hope to set the bar higher and higher each year. Auditions for this coming season will be held in mid-September. We hope to see you all there! Peace, love, and Azaad. Visit our official ASUC website at www.asuc.org.
