Aggies are known for passionate expression — and that’s not exclusive to campus traditions and athletic events. One student organization brings that same zeal to campus through their own freestyle dancing: Texas A&M’s Freestyle Underground Street Dancing, or FUSD. “[The organization is] a place people can go to discover and learn dance in an accepting and inviting environment,” ecology and conservation biology senior and FUSD president Duncan Vick said.  FUSD is an enthusiastic group of breaking, hip-hop and freestylers that host free weekly dance classes and vibrant dance-off sessions. They’re the mysterious group of dancers that pop up at Sbisa Dining Hall and the first floor of the Polo Road Rec Center every Friday with a wild, free-to-join dance ring.
