It's not over..It's Jus Begun!

On a very last minute booking, Full Circle was invited to perform as part
of Madonna's Roseland Nightlife Exchange event.

Full Circle was a presence in Rha Godess' entreprenuerial conference "Move The Crowd" when Rokafella was awarded an entreprenuerial pioneer award for her work with Full Circle's documentary project. Rha Godess felt that Rok embodied the mantra of
"Stay True, Do Good and Get Paid"
Rokafella was also asked to participate in Martha Diaz' Hip-hop Education Think Tank at NYU as a panelist in the Hip-hop and Indigenous traditions panel. Shout out to Mazi of Words Beats and Life, Aronic, Michelle Byrd Mcphee of Montahz and Urban Word for repping.
Kwikstep wrapped up his three month workshop at Central H.S at NJPAC's first wave of Historical Hip-hop class in Newark in tandem with Martha Diaz business workshops. He then headed to Colombia for the Hip4 event in Cali where he would serve as Red Bull dance judge and teach a workshop. Many Cali bboys had been inspired by his first visit back in 2000 and were happy to show their progress.
Full Circle recieved a grant from the Jerome Foundation to continue developing "Sole Intention"
scheduled for a Spring presentation at Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance. Thank you to Jane Gabriels and Eleanor Savage for supporting our process. Pictured below are the cast of the previous performance in July for an outdoor Target Sabado concert at El Museo.
As a dance company with its root in the streets, it has been challenging to straddle both worlds accurately fitting the demands of each. With help from both communities the company has weathered many difficult phases. Many young dancers have come through our doors benefitting from exposure to seasoned masters and international dancers. Life altering experiences have
boosted their wisdom and skills preparing them for their careers. Many options exist for dancers who do not shy away from new opportunities to grow. We hope they retain what they learn from being a part of the company's journey however long or short their time may be.
In this one year alone, FC has taken curatorial positions bringing stage time to fellow dance companies at Lincoln Center, presenting live musical concert performances with musicians at Red Hook, NJPAC and Paradise Theater (pictured above), screening All The Ladies Say in Richmond Va to raise funds for local Camp Diva program and at Maysles Cinema during the Man Up "Stop the Violence Against Women and Girls" film festival and participate in strong collaborations with other dance organizations namely- Retumba all the while bringing our young cast along to witness the diverse platforms that exist.
Behind the Groove dance party made it through its second year mark proving it's worth as a monthly gathering that fills the needs of the dance community seeking a place/club that provides the right atmosphere. Kwikstep has brought together elements such as amazing DJ's, live musicians, visuals projected on screens and energizing non alchohic drinks at the bar. International dancers go back home compelled to return to NYC to keep studying dance and local dancers continue to push themselves to the limit.
December 29th is the last BTG party of 2011--join us!
