Volunteer Coach, Floor Choreographer - Women's Gymnastics

Jeffrey Langenstein

Langenstein plays an integral role in directing the dance elements of Cal’s floor routines, and in 2014 helped the Bears to a 49.155 Regional Qualifying Score (RQS). The Bears finished the season ranked 21st in the country on the event, up from No. 23 with a 49.120 RQS in 2013.

As a Golden Bear men’s gymnast, Langenstein earned four varsity letters while specializing in the floor, still rings, vault and parallel bars events. He was consistently ranked a top performer on floor and vault within the MPSF conference and nationally.

After a rough fall semester during his freshman year, Langenstein found an outlet for his creativity and energy in dancing. He joined Danceworx in the spring, where he was exposed to the greater Berkeley dance community. Since that time, Langenstein has also been involved in The [M]ovement, TrueLement, THRIVE Dance Co., Pilipino Culture Night, Manly Men, Ty-Trannysaurus Rex and Femme Fatale. A jack-of-all-trades when it comes to dance, Langenstein has experience with everything from hip hop to jazz to lyrical and contemporary styles. He was involved in nearly every aspect of dance, from choreographing routines to facilitating practices and holding leadership meetings to planning events and showcases.

Outside of the gym, Langenstein is passionate about the community, serving as a member of the Golden Bear Advisory Committee for student-athletes. He represented Cal at the annual Pac-12 student-athlete advisory committee in the fall of 2013.

Langenstein graduated from Cal with a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, focusing primarily on globalization and consumer behavior, and also obtained a minor in dance and performance studies. In the future, Langenstein would like to focus on sports management or work as editor-in-chief for a publication such as GQ or Vogue.
