Calling out Philly dancers, Breakers, ‘old heads’, OG’s, and community members!

Join Hip Hop Fundamentals co-founders Steve Believe and Metal for The Next Movement: Mapping Philly Hip Hop Dance. Not a competition or jam, but a space to hang out, trade stories, and honor the history and future Hip Hop dance in Philly.

Breakers, Hip Hop heads, dance practitioners, and community members: come to share stories, learn about each other, honor where we’ve been and imagine where we’re going. Let’s honor legacy, lineage, and location together as one community of artists.

The event features:

  • Show and tell table - Bring crew gear, old flyers, and any Hip Hop memorabilia you want to show off!
  • Story circle - collectively share where in the city you’ve danced
  • Panel discussion featuring vital local dancers
  • Community mapping project
  • Small bites, chilling, and Live DJ
  • Archival viewing of past jams and the breaking community at AAI
