"It felt more involved because we got to direct, to choreograph the (hip hop) dance and be in the dance as well," he said. Guests attended previous China Nights and other Chinese cultural events no doubt felt "a breath of fresh air," according to Magid Shirzadegan, associate director of the Office of In ternational Programs.
