Spring is here and there is an optimistic vibration in the air. Our company has been on hiatus for exactly a year since the shutdown. We transitioned to outdoor programming in the Fall then finally found our way back to training twice a week with a limited number of attendees in the Winter.
Currently, we are working on two short dance pieces. One is a fusion piece with the Nai Ni Chen Chinese traditional and contemporary dance company entitled Dragon Cypher. Only three dancers from each company areallowed to rehearse and perform due to Covid limitations. The director/ choreographers have begun working on creating a piece that will share common struggles with racism and the beauty of tradition found in Hip hop and Chinese cultures. Commissioned by LeHigh Valley University, this piece is being workshopped for a later evening length dance theater piece.
The second piece is for The New Victory's Virtual Summer program, offering a diverse scope of dance styles performed by local dancers/dance groups. Covid has presented its challenges but we are so thrilled to be back to creating and featuring our young talented dancers. Please stay tuned and follow our IG page for daily updates.
Congratulations to Kid Break who traveled to the Break Open hosted in Texas in the kid's category. We are proud of his development and all our
dancers.
Over the next few weeks we will be sharing clips from our training sessions, showcasing FC members. Shot by Forrest Knight. Stay tuned!
We thank all of you who have supported and stayed in touch with us through our social media platforms. We know it is a challenging
time and we keep all of our Hip hop dance community in our prayers. We support the movement to eliminate anti-AAPI hate and pray that our community can heal and resolve the sexual misconduct that plagues our scene. Standards for rehabilitation and reparative justice need to be
put in place. We hope leadership can step up and create a better Breakin / Hip hop dance community. All Black Lives Matter.

Throwback to our performance in October 2019 at the Bronx Museum’s BxMA Ball, featured in Vogue Magazine. This was our latest collab before the pandemic. Our relationship with Bronx Museum began in 2005 when we held our first Bgirl panel!
“After dinner, the party kids dispersed throughout the museum for a series of performances. A DJ set by artists Stefan Ruiz and José Parlá was accompanied by break-dancers B-Girl Rokafella and the Full Circle Souljahs in the Chalfant exhibition.”Lo

10월은 좋은 가을 날씨를 제공하여 Hunts Point의 Boogie Down Grind Cafe에서 야외 토요일 비하인드 그루브 파티가 순조롭게 진행되었습니다. 전투, 허슬의 순간, 좋은 음료/음식은 파티 참석자들을 기쁘게 했으며, 그 중 많은 사람들이 브루클린, 퀸즈, 심지어 뉴저지에서 온 골든 원더우먼까지 환호했습니다! 옆에 있는 가라오케도 만듦새를 더했습니다!!

PEACE.
Full Circle has, always, since its birth, believed that there is racial inequality in America and has brought visibility to how it has affected our community. Art is the best way to spark conversation and to educate audiences.
Hip hop emerged as a post civil rights movement to reinvigorate young black and brown people in their quest for respect and love. The classic dance forms and the other fundamental elements of Hip hop culture testify to the intelligence and resilience of a people that have encountered racism and are coping with generational trauma.
We fold our political commentary in our theater pieces since 1999 ("Bullet Proof" at The Painted Bride) to 2018 ("Boxed In" at DanSpace) and in our local workshops and peer-to-peer dialogues.
Change must happen on all levels including the Hip hop dance community, we must take an honest look at how we enable racial inequality as we teach, perform and organize events. We would like to thank organizations such as KR3T's, BAAD and Pepatian who have helped us through the years as well as the Bronx Council on the Arts. We will continue to offer uplifting progamming that highlights our urban super stars and super heroes!
The murder of George Floyd by four police officers must be tried in court and JUSTICE must prevail. We add our voices to the widespread outcry for the investigation of brutality by police officers on the Black and Brown communities across the nation.
