Gruppeskuddet ble tatt etter Museo Del Barrio Super Sabado -showet!

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!

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.

In 2005, at the age of fifteen, he discovered breakdancing, the discipline that inspired him to pursue a career in dance. His love for learning and furthering his understanding of this art form led him to the discovery of the different styles like contemporary, house dance, ballet, commercial hip-hop and various partnering and latin styles. Gabriel currently works both commercially and theatrically, and has not only toured nationally and internationally with various groups, productions and artists, but has also taken part in a wide range of music videos, commercials, TV appearances, and won several dance competition titles"
