Jeong is a member of diSiac, Moss is a member of BodyHype and Sympoh, and Nam is a member of Black Arts Company: Dance. Despite having danced for groups with different styles, the three saw a void on campus that a new hip-hop troupe could fill.
Chaos Theory will practice hip-hop in a technical manner, the founders explained. The group will “pay more attention to minute details of certain styles of hip-hop,” Moss said. Jeong said that they will specifically engage “in different styles of hip-hop instead of meshing them together.”
Still, the founders said, they hope to collaborate with other dance groups on campus, which rarely occurs, they added.
They said that they hope to enter Chaos Theory into dance competitions on the East Coast and work with other dance groups on campus to sponsor guest performances and workshops. Chaos Theory was already involved in the effort to bring Kaba Modern to campus this past weekend.
“We all want to be challenged and learn from each other and grow together as dancers and surround ourselves with dancers who can teach us things,” Jeong said.
Though Jeong, Nam and Moss all experimented with dance in high school and picked up moves from YouTube, they explained, joining dance groups in college gave them a chance to practice their skills in a more structured fashion.
“The dance companies on campus are very professional,” Nam explained. “We had a background in dance that is different.”
Moss knew that he “wanted to be around different people who could teach me different things,” he said. Jeong said that he found friends in diSiac.
The founders of Chaos Theory emphasized that they did not form the group to create competition among the other dance troupes on campus.
Leaders of other campus dance groups said they did not find the creation of Chaos Theory worrisome.
“Because there are already so many dance groups negotiating for space, adding one more really doesn’t worry me,” said Amy Achenbaum ’12, the president of BodyHype.
“The new hip-hop group will not bring competition, but rather another chance to see how talented Princeton students are,” she added.
Kohei Noda ’11, the former co-president of Sympoh, said that he saw the creation of Chaos Theory as “a positive development.”
“Any potential to develop new styles and promote hip-hop is a good thing,” he explained.
