Hip-Hop Moves: Heroes and Innovators

The Twin Cities is home to a vast array of its own hip-hop artists, from movement creators to musicians. This spectacular showcase of hip-hop dance heroes illustrates the connection between the local scene and the national legends who have shaped it. Inventors of groundbreaking moves now danced all over the world will travel to Minneapolis for the celebration, including the Electric Boogaloos, originators of Boogaloo (funk style), and Don Campbell, creator of “locking” as we know it. Hip-hop dancers, DJs, MCs, spoken word, and graf artists pay tribute to these heroes while mapping the Twin Cities’ own local history.
