This all-female intergenerational dance company creates dance works illuminating the presence and power of women in hip-hop. Their movement includes freestyle, ciphering, party dances, and call-and-response, representing the essence of street and club dance culture while exploring both community and proscenium performance.

They presented The Black Dancing Bodies Project in 2022, and are seen here in a world premiere inspired by Octavia E. Butler’s Parable Series, made possible by a Joan B. Hunter New Work Commission.
