RECENT PRESS AND UPCOMING EVENTS
The four elements of Hip-hop are Deejay, Emcee, Graffiti, and Dance. The fifth element – Knowledge – grounds the other four, as an intrinsic value to the dissemination and preservation of the culture. While innovation at home and abroad is vital, it can also result in appropriation, misunderstanding and misrepresentation. Visit the 5E Knowledge / Rennie Harris Library for first person, oral and embodied narratives which are VITAL to public understanding of the enduring American art forms of Hip-hop and Street Dance.

So Much Fun!!! The dance style of Locking has always brought me so much joy when performing or teaching it. •
Thanks to an early mentor, Hip Hop Dance legend and culture professor rennieharris , I got to train and learn directly from Don Campbell campbellock51 , the creator of this dance style, originally known as Campbellocking. •
•
Locking has an incredible dance history that goes back almost 5 decades and has significantly impacted the world dance culture to today. •
janetjackson music video “Rhythm Nation” had some epic Locking dance sequences in it so I had to create my own sequences for this class and pay tribute. •
•
Also these BCA students bring me so much joy!!! They are always on 🔥 when learning 👏🏼👏🏼

By danceattakoma via RepostWhiz app:
5B gave me my life today. I owed them so much free time, so after a few difficult classes, I allowed them the whole period of free time. We did a few popular dances and then they wanted to do a circle. We understood that in the circle we are all equals no one is better or higher. We respect anyone who enters the circle because it takes courage. If you enter the circle you feel the support of everyone around you if you are creating the circle you are supporting the person/people inside. We had so much fun they lost the beat! 🙉🎶 But I`m very proud of you 5B. They called me #malcolmX after my speech, but I got that from #rennieharris #danceattakoma #circle #unity #equal #support. I wish I could post all of the videos. Check tumblr later.

Ok, last post, then I’ll stop. But the story of the Shaka Dancers, pioneers of street dance, locking and hip-hop culture is too important to be simply dropped out there. Link in bio! Read it! It’s in french though. But look at the pictures, at least! / Ok, j’arrête après! Mais cette histoire est juste trop belle pour ne pas être découverte par le plus grand nombre possible. Les Shaka Dancers sont des pionniers du street dance et de la culture hip-hop au Québec! Sur les photos ci-haut, c’est Eugene et Johnny en 2019. Lien vers l’histoire dans ma bio.
