The Dance Floor: Future Skool with Les Ballet Afrik
Friday, April 29 at 7:30 pm
The Universal Hip Hop Museum, scheduled to open a permanent home in the Bronx in 2024, strives to celebrate, preserve, and educate the public on the local and global phenomenon of hip hop. The Atrium will provide an Upper West Side stage for UHHM in 2022 with a series of shows incorporating three of the key elements of hip hop: rapping, DJing, and dancing. Future Skool opens the night with a cypher of emergent artists and next generation hip hop innovators followed by a performance of the vogue, hip hop, and Afrobeat-fusion dance work New York Is Burning, commissioned by the Guggenheim's Works & Process. This work was created by Ballroom choreographer and star of HBO's Legendary Omari Wiles for his company Les Ballet Afrik. After the show, make your way to the dance floor for an unforgettable hip hop jam. Presented by The Universal Hip Hop Museum in collaboration with Hip Hop Education Center Les Ballet Afrik will be coming to Lincoln Center fresh from their Works & Process LaunchPAD "Process as Destination" residency at The Church, Sag Harbor.
