Dance Marathon at UCLA: Happening now in Ackerman Grand Ballroom

UCLA’s Dance Marathon, hosted by the Pediatric AIDS Coalition, kicked off at 11 a.m. in Ackerman Grand Ballroom as a cheering crowd of dancers stood up to move it and groove it for the next 26 hours.

So far, dancers have learned the morale dance to “Let’s Groove,” by Earth, Wind and Fire, competed in “Color Wars,” which are competitions between the different teams, and welcomed their first wave of moralers.

The Daily Bruin is bringing you live stories of the dancers’ experiences on our mobile journalism blog, Mojo.
