"I'm bringing sexy back," Justin Timberlake's voice blared during a choreographed hip-hop collaboration.

After a quick transition, the sound of contemporary Hindi music filled Schwab Auditorium.

Both traditional and contemporary performances encouraged about 175 audience members to clap along with the beat of Hindi songs Saturday night.

The performance marked the Indian Student Association's fall show, "Show Me What You Got."

The show was a juxtaposition of traditional Indian dance with contemporary hip-hop performances.

"We want to keep [the show] open to the Indian-American student and to keep it so anyone can come in and like it," said Jashank Sampat (sophomore-life science), an emcee at the show and the Indian Student Association's webmaster.

To meet this goal, the Indian organization invited groups such as Halal Dance Ministry and the Raw Aesthetic Movements (RAM) Squad -- an urban dance club -- to perform.

"We usually have traditional [groups.] This time we asked a lot of clubs and organizations," emcee and Indian Student Association chief of staff Raj Desai (junior-premedicine) said.

Penn State International Dance Ensemble performed a bhangra dance from the Indian region of Punjab.

Dancers wear traditional costumes in this dance, which is typically performed as a celebration.

In contrast to this number, Musie (Moses) Ghebremedhin (freshman-premedicine), an R&B artist, sang an original piece that will appear on his debut album.

Indian songs were also performed at theshow.

Hassan Khan (junior-finance) said he has been performing Hindi songs for the past two semesters at the show.

"It's fun when you're singing something people understand," Khan said, commenting on how many audience members knew Urdu, the language of Pakistan.

Urdu is csimilar to Hindi -- which is India's language, Khan said.

"The goal of the show is to bring the Indian community together -- to keep our culture alive," Sampat said.

The evening of performance was not just about Indian culture, as a diverse mix of students performed.

"We do that because we like to promote different cultures together and also keep the interest of students in the world we live in today," Sampat said.
