Davis Dance Revolution (DDR) is an annual dance competition on Picnic Day that features traditional and modern student dance groups at UC Davis. Each year, talented groups compete for prizes in the biggest dance event on campus.
Founded in 1977, Danzantes del Alma is a retention program housed under the Cross Cultural Center that fosters and nurtures student leadership, intellectual curiosity, and artistic expression through the art of ballet Folklórico.
The Video Game Orchestra at UC Davis was founded in 2017 with the goal of allowing college musicians to explore the wonders of video game music. What started out as a small group of 9 musicians has now grown into a community of more than 100 members, including current UCD students, alumni, and community members. Additionally, all of our pieces are arranged by our own members. Each quarter, we select a theme for our concert that explores a genre of video games, allowing us to cover a diverse array of games throughout the year.
The UC Davis Symphony Orchestra (UCDSO) is committed to presenting repertoire from different periods and styles at the highest artistic level. Members also pride themselves in performing works by students, faculty, and visiting composers.
Established in 1959, the orchestra has performed in many cities in Northern California, as well as in Australia, Canada, France, French Polynesia, and Spain. As of 2013, the UCDSO has grown to approximately 110 members and is a resident ensemble of Jackson Hall at the Mondavi Center.
