Full Circle News: June 2004

The year has definitely been a busy one for Full Circle.
Four members were hired to do a ten city industrial tour with Hennessy liquors.
The new sessions at Washington Heights have produced a steady attendance of local
talented youth. Our newest addition to the squad, B boy Cik (pronounced sick) has been
covering classes and performing in our most recent gigs. He held weekly informal battles
with the students at High Bridge increasing their understanding of the dance.
Soon a new chapter of Lords Of Finesse will emerge representing once again the Hip-Hop
dance energy home grown in Washington Heights. Djoniba's sessions on saturdays has been
attended by out of towners, international dancers, and the illest NYC bboys. Supreme
Beings, Section 8, and NBK are regulars reppin' hard. It is the only session of its kind
where there are no prizes, there are no judges, and the vibe is blessed by the African
dance and drum energy exchanged in the studio all day.

Some Full Circle members participated in the "Trans Latin" Pepatian's Bronx Artists
spotlight show at the Bronx Museum of Art. It was an honor to be on the same line up
with KR3T's , La Santa Luz company, Olive, and DJ G-Bo.
After much rehearsal Full Circle (which welcomed in the cast B boys Rival and Cik) faced
four shows in two days.. two in the Bronx and two in Washington D.C. The first two were
for Community Works where high schools were invited to Hostos Community College auditorium
to see our "Hip-Hop to da Head" presentation. Then we jumped in our van and drove five
hours stopping along the way to eat and break in parking lots. When we arrived, we had
dinner compliments of Amy Hayer. Thursday morning found the crew in high spirits and we
headed into the federal building- the Library of Congress -turntables and all. The two
shows were fun and received with much excitement. It was the first time a Hip-Hop act
graced the stage at the Library of Congress. We give a big shout to Donna Williams who
kept in touch since Fall 2002 until the very day of our performance.

Thank you for your continued support and keep checkin' in.
