UIC student organizations showed off their talent Thursday in front of a packed Illinois Room in Student Center East.

The UIC Cultural Showcase, an annual competition, celebrates the diversity of campus through song, dance and other forms of performance art.

Three UIC staff members judged the event, scoring student performances. Movimiento Latino took first place while Dhamaal and Bhangra rounded out the top three performances.

Student groups who performed at the event included Dhaamal, Dangeraas, Primo Dance Troupe, Bhangra and Movimiento Latino.
