ATLS Screening At The Nuyorican Poets Cafe

Our film screening at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe was empowering and heart warming. In true Ancestor practice, J La Rok shared an original spoken word piece to kick off our women in Hip hop dance centered evening!  We were blessed to have the 1st Female MC Sha Rock on the panel discussion who motivated everyone with her inspiring words and testimony from 1978 to today!  We also had the legendary funkstyles dancer Aiko who also let us know we are in charge of our Hip hop dance lives. The other panelists Tiffany, Tara, GI Jane also brought their insight and strength to the event!! Happy women’s History month and Happy 50th anniversary to Hip hop!! 

The locals who showed up threw down spontaneously when the DJ played “Just Begun”!! Thank you to La Bruja who hosted us at the Cafe! 

Special mention to CudaCulture and Bgirl Herstory who partnered with the promotions of our women’s history month screening. Thank you to team Full Circle for the programming support with the Ford Foundation and thank you to the United Hip hop Vanguard for the national Breakin cultural boost!  Thank you to Rokafella, Jane Gabriels, Melissa Ulto and Kwikstep. 

All The Ladies Say Part 2 Trailer

15 year of uplifting the Bgirls in our dance community, the All the Ladies Say team returns with a series of short interviews that will bring you closer to our brilliant floor sisters.
 
Tune in and check out their philosophy, their unique challenges and their triumphs at every stage of their journey. The videos will be posted to the ATLS website recently upgraded by @multomedianyc and will eventually build towards a part 2 that has been in the works since the release of Part 1 in 2011.

The production team has been archiving  and fundraising as the years have passed and is ready to pick up the project now in 2021 as a virtual labor of love. Join us as we reflect, celebrate and step into the future with even more admiration for the way our sisters have contributed and maintained a presence in the Breakin-genre – the original dance of Hip hop culture.

We begin with our  local NYC area dancers and will reach out nationally– the way we did in 2006 and then internationally — the way we did in 2008. This is a Full Circle and it takes a village!
