Lincoln Center and the FALL

SUMMER Greetings to all.

Our August performance at Lincoln Center was great and we would like to thank our presenters Dancing in the Streets and Bill Bragin of LCOOD. It was fun to run into Tino who was one of our first FC members -he used to rock the turntables with us back in '96- but is now sound engineer for the LCOOD festival. WOW.. he is all grown up.. haha.. We were under the gun to produce a show that could bring the house down even after the other dance crews had alaready blazed the audience. We performed an FC rendition of "Just BEgun" and had the honor of having bboys Rich, Divine, Sweet Lou, our poppers Onion, Jedi Nice and a band full of masters including Angel Rodrigues who hadn't rocked with us since 2002.

Big shout to Merk One for the filming and photography support and to Martha Diaz at the Hip-hop Association for offering her office for us to work out of duriing the month of August for editing purposes. Black Robb you are a force and a true brother!! big shout to Felix Rodrigues and Roselly too!! The documentary All the Ladies Say had its screning at Ladies Of Hip-hop in Philly . Big shout to Michlle Byrd Mcphee the organizer and to the other ladies who participated.

Kwikstep returned from a great event in Surinam for BAttle of the Year semi finals and to the Mysticalz Crew who won and to Venezuela's Speedy Angels who repped hard for their country.

September is here and we are gearing up for a performance at Dance New Amsterdam with our poppers Onion, Jedi Nice and Future to revamp a piece to music by Bach commissioned by Centeral PArk Summerstage on September 23, 2009. We will be on a line up with other dance companies that specialize in Flamenco and Modern.

Rokafella will attend the b girl conference in Minneapolis B Girl Be sept 18-20, 2009 and will perform her songs, a dance solo and screen All the LAdies Say. www.intermediaarts.org
We have to give a shout to Pavan at PMT studios for housing our Sunday sessions and to Ron REnaissance who has helped us out with music direction for the RPM band. Big shout to Yako who worked on Rokafella's new song "Get Down" produced by Kwikstep and recorded at the Subphonik Studio. and to Ella who is in town from England for taking us back on a journey of Salsa. Big shout to Eddie and Maria Torres for still holding it down in their salsa community all these years. The performance on Thursday at Club Cache was intense and inspiring!
RIP Michael Jackson....

Stay tuned for a new website-big thank you to dwayne oxford who created and helped us for years on our web presence- but soon we will bring a new design, a Halloween party on the roof and another fundraiser for the completion of the All the Ladies of Say documentary. Also, the Funhouse reunion happening on September 24th and Rokafella in Western Massachusetts on October 29th performing with I-Shea.

Look out for KID GLYDE of Dynamic Breakers as he represents THE BEST OF NYC's breaking legacy at the Red Bull BC One in November. He will go up against international bboy soloists who have beat out their country's best to rep at this infamous competition.

Thanks to Melissa Ulto who has been the resident editor for 2 years and has to go on with her journey of film making and editing on a global level. It is because of her our film has reached the levels it has... we await her safe return from this global green project..'Lifeline'!
