Kickin into Fall Mode...

FULL CIRCLE enjoyed a summer month of dance and fun at Six Flags then in Brooklyn at Coney Island -which was Kwikstep's former training grounds with the Fresh Kids.
The August Behind the Groove party was an eclectic gathering of dancers and even a display of a rollerskating mastery by -Alex Kid Dynamo. Keith Wildchild and Ron Renaissance played their instruments to take us to another level of groovin! Thank you to DP One who always spins his best for the dancers!


Just as Kwik had spent his birthday at the Door, Rok also celebrated hers with her Door students.
Full Circle shared the Sunday training with French B girl Amel who we recommended appear in her first music video with G I Jane of NBK/FCP. Congrats!

Then Kwik and Rok headed to Minneapolis for a four night run of their theatrical duet "Innaviews" which was well received and sure to create inroads at
Intermedia Arts-Thank you to Theresa, Melisa, and Autumn for your daily support.
Full Circle will perform a different 40 minute program everyday from September 14th to the 18th at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's outdoor Green Show. It is exciting to bring together Angel Rodriguez and Spexx (core Company members) with out-of-state affiliates Raf Xavier from California and Brazil's own Neguin to add flavor to the music, rhyme and dance fused storytelling style that Kwik and Rok are known for presenting.
Kwikstep will attend the IBE in Rotterdam and Rok will be screening ATLS in D.C. to celebrate the issue launch of Words Beats and Life.
Plans are being made for 2011's Full Circle anniversary as a reunion of the many artists that have shared stage, vision and love of Hip-hop in the many years of the company's vibrant existence since 1996..stay tuned!
Thank you to Maori Homes of Black Lily for screening "All The Ladies Say" and to Eastside Alliance's Traci Bartlow who also presented Aiko and Lady Champ with an opportunity to speak on a panel at the B girl Jam where the film was also screened.

The monthly party "Behind the Groove" is now being held on the second Thursdays at Le Poisson Rouge with guest DJ's and a tribute on Sept 9th to honor the legacy of the Vogue pioneer Willie Ninja (RIP SEPT 2, 2006)whose vision was to bring Vogue-ing beyond the ballroom and into performance realm. He was not a Hip-hop dancer but at the time when Hip-hop dance was emerging into the clubs, Vogue was also being birthed and thereby sharing space on the dance floor as well as slight overlapping vocabulary. We salute the best of NYC's dancers regardless of their particular dance genre.
Our hats off to Marjorie Smarth for her continued love of the worldwide dance community as she battles cancer with the love showered on her as a shield.
Rokafella will attend the "B Girl Be" on Labor Day Weekend and also begin her NY Public Library classes on September 9th at the Riverside branch from 4pm-5pm free to aspiring youth dancers.
