More About Us
Founded in 2021, Cal Celerity is UC Berkeley’s first and only Vietnamese Traditional Dance Team. Our mission is to celebrate and share the richness of Vietnamese culture through elegant and expressive traditional dances. We aim to bring the beauty of Vietnam (from North, Central, to South) onto the stage and into the hearts of our campus community and beyond.
Cal Celerity is a beginner-friendly team, so no prior dance experience is needed! All we ask for is a passion for Vietnamese culture and an interest in learning and performing traditional dance. Whether you are Vietnamese or simply inspired by the culture, everyone is welcome to join our growing family.
Over the years, we’ve had the honor of performing at a variety of showcases and cultural events across UC Berkeley (can be found on YouTube), including:
- Cal VSA’s Annual Culture Show
- Fei Tian's Anniversary Showcase (Chinese Traditional Dance)
- EAU Night Market
- Multicultural Dance Showcase
- DWX Showcase
- AFX Showcase
Beyond campus, we also bring our performances to the Bay Area, especially in San Jose and San Francisco, to engage with the broader Vietnamese and multicultural communities. Additionally, we love collaborating with other cultural and dance organizations such as Fei Tian, Maya (Berkeley's Indian Classical Fusion Dance Team), Cal Lion Dance, and BAICD (Bay Area Chinese Independent Dancers) for workshops and joint performances.
At Cal Celerity, we believe in unity through culture, movement, and community. Join us as we dance, learn, and celebrate Vietnamese heritage together!
