Kung Fu Hip Hop
6 – 7PM
From the moment popping, locking, and breaking entered into the world culture vocabulary, Hip-Hop dance and kung fu have been in a mutually respectful conversation. Both require years of training to perfect; and both place a high value on acrobatics, grace, and style. For this live performance as part of Lincoln Center’s Chinese Arts Week, China-based dance squads versed in the vernacular language of both b-boy swag and martial arts rigor meet for a costumed dance showcase with performers dressed in both traditional Chinese cultural apparel and contemporary style. It’s a Hip-Hop battle and a high-intensity sparring session; crews and lead dancers will be announced shortly.
