Thank you to all of you who support us as an organization run by dancers for dancers in our quest to preserve and evolve Hip-hop in NYC. Sadly, the odds keep stacking against our community. Dancing in a NYC subway train car for money is now an illegal offense punishable by jail time so we really need to provide our youth with necessary dance career information so they can move forward with their talents even if there are no tangible platforms in the mainstream.. Hip-hop always finds a way.
