Les Twins are known for their eclectic hip-hop style and having worked with some of music‘s biggest artists, including Beyonce, Jay Z and Missy Elliott. Also new to this year‘s Festival, is the inclusion of 100NAKEDLOCKS, an original work commissioned for Breakin’ Convention by the Apollo and created by acclaimed choreographer Rennie Harris in May 2015, as part of the Apollo‘s new works incubation program – the Apollo Salon Series.

The Festival reflects The Apollo Theater‘s dedication to advancing new contemporary forms of expression in across a range of artistic disciplines, and furthers the theater‘s role as a gathering place for the Harlem and New York community. ―The Apollo has always been about introducing Harlem and New York to current trends and to ‗what‘s next,‘ so we are pleased to be partnering with Sadler‘s Wells again to bring the world‘s foremost dance artists to New York so we can discover what‘s happening globally in this important genre,‖ said Mikki Shepard, the Apollo‘s executive producer. ―It is important to explore how this art form has evolved into a global phenomenon. These are some truly gifted performers, and not only will our audiences get to see some pretty amazing and astounding performances, but they‘ll be able to get into the spirit of the whole festival by participating in the workshops and getting their dance moves on.‖ The Apollo‘s Breakin Convention will also feature a variety of artistic, education and community events including a special Amateur Night at the Apollo performance, an Apollo Live Wire discussion and workshops led by pioneers in the hip-hop dance field.

  • De Da Ft Punk À Stromae ANGLAIS
    From Daft Punk to Stromae, how global is ‘French Music’? By Virginie Berger, translation Emma Dovey. Who is the international audience of the francophone music industry? How can we explain the export successes of Daft Punk and Stromae? Is French rap music’s international investment paying off? While for a long time the appeal of making money was not associated with the cultural economy, the invention of marketing and the internet succeeded in transforming some French artists into products that are consumed all over the world. In order to better understand how the French music scene adopted a strategy of profit and internationalisation, the French Touch movement is telling to say the least. It deciphers a musical style that has transcended ‘underground’ music and become mainstream. To explain this transformation, one supposition suggests that 1970s pop stars coincided with the emergence of marketing theories. At this point in time, thanks to rock music and supermarket shelves which were overflowing with Elvismania and Beatlemania merchandise, North America and Great Britain were innovating, transforming and marking the birth of musical merchandising.1 A few years later, disco music, the predecessor of the clubbing2 and DJing scenes, was emerging in the United States. At the dawn of the 1980s, a major development then took place which suggested a more industrial and more cyclical music genre inspired by pop, funk and soul. This new genre, closely related to party and dance culture, was an ideal birthplace for the worthy heir of disco: house music. This very music would then develop at the start of the 21st century, as an undercurrent in Madonna and Daft Punk’s global smash hits.

  • The Circulation of Popular Dance on Youtube
    Social Texts, Social Audiences, Social Worlds: The Circulation of Popular Dance on YouTube Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alexandra Harlig Graduate Program in Dance The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Harmony Bench, Advisor Katherine Borland Karen Eliot Ryan Skinner Copyrighted by Alexandra Harlig 2019 2 Abstract Since its premiere, YouTube has rapidly emerged as the most important venue shaping popular dance practitioners and consumers, introducing paradigm shifts in the ways dances are learned, practiced, and shared. YouTube is a technological platform, an economic system, and a means of social affiliation and expression. In this dissertation, I contribute to ongoing debates on the social, political, and economic effects of technological change by focusing on the bodily and emotional labor performed and archived on the site in videos, comments sections, and advertisements. In particular I look at comments and fan video as social paratexts which shape dance reception and production through policing genre, citationality, and legitimacy; position studio dance class videos as an Internet screendance genre which entextualizes the pedagogical context through creative documentation; and analyze the use of dance in online advertisements to promote identity-based consumption. Taken together, these inquiries show that YouTube perpetuates and reshapes established modes and genres of production, distribution, and consumption. These phenomena require an analysis that accounts for their multivalence and the ways the texts circulating on YouTube subvert existing categories, binaries, and hierarchies. A cyclical exchange—between perpetuation and innovation, subculture and pop culture, amateur and professional, the subversive and the neoliberal—is what defines YouTube and the investigation I undertake in this dissertation.

    Teaching Faculty Faculty Teachers at Groovexone come from all walks of life, education and experience not only in Hip Hop but all forms of dance. Our teachers have first aid certificates, mandatory reporting and police security checks. They continue to train or perform in dance either formally through various education systems or informally through interstate and overseas dance workshops. Each teacher has their own unique style and interpretation of Hip Hop which they bring to Groovexone that enriches all our dancers at the studio. Michelle Stabile Groovexone Dance Director/Senior Dance Teacher/Choreographer Michelle was put in dance classes from the early age of 4 studying callisthenics, ballet, jazz and tap. Her first inspirations were MGM Hollywood Musicals and their artists like Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse and Anne Miller. Michelle loved dancing but never felt quite the classically trained kind of dancer. Until the late 1970’s early 80’s when Break-dance, Michael Jackson and MTV burst on to the scene and she finally found the street funk dance style that suited her. Michelle continued her formal dance training at the Johnny Young Talent School/ Mighty Good Talent School. As well as becoming a self taught street funk dancer at the time. She would and still soaks up any video clip or movie relating to break-dance and commercial dance. She also began to work as a freestyle dancer in the clubs around Adelaide. She continued more formal training with Rachel Symons (studied Theatrical Exams C.S.T.D) and Kylie Cunningham (Theatrical Dance Academy – studied the full Jazz Syllabus C.S.T.D.) Michelle currently attends as many hip hop workshops she can with international, interstate and local hip hop professionals.
