The purpose of the Blue Crew Dance Club is to provide an outlet for students interested in forms of recreational dance, not affiliated with the Drake Dance Team or the BFA Music Theater program at Drake University. Our goal is to better the lives of those involved, as well as the Drake community, through expressing art and exercising in dance.

We are Drake University's premier low-voice acapella group! Based out of Des Moines, Iowa, the Brocal Chords strive to spread happiness through harmony and merriment through music. We love making high-quality sounds, but also try not to take ourselves too seriously, so we make sure that everything we do is to bring smiles to people's faces!
