Lincoln Center January shows
CLICK HERE FOR LINCOLN CENTER PICTURE GALLERY
Peace to our online hip-hop fam,
So far nothing but good news.. Our first shows of the year at Lincoln Center went well, without any drama..the mixed audience was very enthusiastic. Three of FC dancers made their acting debut and are looking forward to working with the world famous Will Power on more acting techiniques. We had the honor of sharing the stage with Violet Galalgarza of KR3T'S and her 3 year old prodigy B boy Noah-(pudi- rock). Violet was an FC cast member thru the years '97-'99 and was part of the original cast of the first "Soular Power'd" at Hostos College. She continues pursuing her dreams and the efforts to pass down dance techniques with her own non-profit "Keep Rising to the Top" which is celebrating a 15 year anniversary in April.
Full Circle just returned from a weekend in Virginia and D.C. presenting "Hip-Hop to the Head". We were happy to have shared the stage with Shay and Big Brother AL of the Orphan Fam who brought their lyrical prowess and laughs to the vibe. Big thank you shout to Shay and AL who took on the added responsibility of taking the wheel to get us from points a to point b. We also welcomed DJ GI Joe to the stage who partnered with resident DJ D P One to create incredible rhythmic turntable routines. In D.C. we shared the bill with Sylvana Bahmuti and Quique who jammed with us right before the final bows. Big thank you to Leila Gordon and staff for all the hospitality at Reston College Community Center and to Kevin for driving directions (since I forgot my mapquest at the hotel room); and to Carla Perlo and everyone at Dance Place, especially Amy who prepared a special lunch. We kicked off our new class/session at Djoniba's on Valentine's day and we had a great turn out. Beginnners got a chance to sample all Hip-Hop styles basics as well as try handstands(against the wall of course) with guidance of bgirl Rokafella. Spectators lined up outside looking thru the window in amazement of the advanced bboys trying out the space. General support from our friends and family was great..some couples passed thru taking a moment out of their valentine's day love schedule to wish us luck or to let us know they will attend a later session. In the end, time flew by and everyone left with a handful of hershey's kisses. Fotos by Brother Al, promotions by Spex, breaks "WARzone".
