Between Hip Hop, Juke, and House: Chicago's Street & Club Dance Culture from the '80s on

Step into the underground with an intimate story cypher (discussion), followed by a dance cypher featuring Chicago’s movers and multi-hyphenate artists who’ve shaped the city’s street and club dance scene—where Housing, Flexing, Hip House, and Hip Hop have collided. Featuring dancers and culture bearers whose names, presence, and influence flowed through the scene well before social media. Sounds by JO DE PRESSER.  

Stay tuned for panelist names and bios coming soon . . . !!!

Moderated by Daniel “BRAVEMONK” Haywood and Kelsa “K-Soul” Rieger-Haywood, this live and intimate convo/cypher explores the dynamic differences and soulful synergies between House, Juke and Hip Hop in Chicago.  A story cypher will transform into an open dance cypher connecting dancers and movers across generations.
