Just Dance: The All-Male Hip Hop Team

December 5, 2015
The All-Male Hip Hop team of Mater Dei is famous school-wide for their dance moves and “swag.” Their routines continue to entertain and awe the student body and their competitors.
Practicing vigorously for three hours, at least three times a week, the Hip Hop team’s work pays off when they perform their intricate dance moves. But their group is more than just a team, they consider each other a family and share bonds that will last a life time.
“The things that we share are very special. You know, when you spend so much time together with the same amount of people, you kind of create something organically within yourselves and with that is something very special,” said Coach Robin Chang.
The team is more than just a team- they are brothers. They have created friendships that will continue for years, even after Mater Dei.
“I do (hip hop) for my brothers,” Senior Brent Castillo said.
The highly acclaimed All-Male Hip Hop Team is not just hardworking and gifted, they are a family who are all care and support each other.


![BUILDING THE FUTURE: Plans to build tennis courts and a new Performing Arts Center will be started and completed in the coming years. This will benefit students and athletes alike as they will enhance both the Athletic and Performing Arts Departments and bring much-needed venues and state-of-the-art spaces to campus. “You want to be rooted in that tradition of the school when [it comes to] these projects, we’ve always got to be innovating and moving forward,” Vice President of School Relations Scott Melvin said.

![GET UP Students laugh and dance at a school rally. All the events and rallies hosted by ASB help bring students together and make school an enjoyable place to be. Senior Maddy O’Connor believes ASB keeps everything together and the school spirit alive. “A lot of things wouldn't be as organized [without ASB] and it'd be kind of boring,” O’Connor said. “ASB brings joy to Mater Dei, and pretty much [all things] cool.”](https://thescarletscroll.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/HEIF-Image-1200x800.jpeg)
