“The Mixtape” celebrates 50 years of Hip Hop & the ecosystem of Street Dance. Featuring diverse genres, freestyle & choreography, The Mixtape transforms the stage into a NYC train car and takes the audience on a ride through the different eras of the Hip Hop & Street Dance timeline, while also looking to the future. Each stop on the journey provides a firsthand view into a different era of music and corresponding American folk dance styles (Popping, House, Hip Hop, Breaking, Litefeet, and Krump), each with its own rituals, stories, unique language, and subculture. This evening-length work features original choreography by the 10K Movement Elite Performance Team. This concert will also include music composed by some of the culture’s internationally renowned and underground producers. Orchestrated much like a ballet with an accompanist, Mixtape will also feature a live DJ acting as both the conductor and instrumentation.
