Your vote will help to keep them in the competition, so your vote will be worth it!

Please show your support!

From Tha Hip

2008 marks the re-mounting of the semi-autobiographical Hip-Hop play, “From Tha Hip” scheduled to open at the Prince Music Theater in the Spring. The story is inspired by founder, Clyde Evans’ immigration to the United States from Trinidad in the early 80’s, and the impact Hip-Hop culture made on his adaptation to American culture.


Musicopia Partnership

We will be teaming up with Musicopia (formerly Strings for Schools), a non-profit organization that works to bring a vibrant combination of music performance and education to students and communities throughout the Delaware Valley—with particular focus on geographical areas lacking adequate music programs. Musicopia is expanding their program to include dance together with music to further their mission.


ill Children

ill Children”, a Hip-Hop training program for experienced Hip-Hop dancers focusing on refining and enhancing fundamental Hip-Hop dance movements, was first piloted in 2004. The four-week training session was a grass roots project aimed solely to help the dancers become more marketable in a very competitive field. Clyde donated his time and knowledge so that they may find as successful a career in dance as he has. Since then a number of participants in the program have grown tremendously in their careers and have gone on to establish their own dance companies and solo successes. In the upcoming year, “ill Children” will begin again to encourage a new wave of dance artists to thrive. Expanded opportunities will be added in the program, such as job placement and performance opportunities.


We're moving!

Inside the Old School Tent

You saw the concert review and set list from the Beastie Boys concert last week. Maybe you caught the graffiti raffle results as well. However the one thing that people have been asking for, is footage from inside our tent at the show.
