Zero Degrees prospective members may have an interest in dancing, want to choreograph, and/or enjoy listening to Korean pop music (or Asian pop music in general, including J-pop, C-pop, V-pop, and more). The purpose of this club is to provide a safe and welcoming community where we meet people of similar preferences and promote awareness that music has no language barrier. We strive to provide a close-knit community with open communication about our past experiences, how to become a performer, and what we all want to get out of this memorable experience.
