Breakin' Convention

Top Hip-Hop Dancers From Around the World at Breakin' Convention

Street dance -- popping, locking, house and break dancing -- has never been so popular thanks to the huge success of a few reality TV shows. Better than watching these masters of movement on the small screen, U.K. hip-hop veteran Jonzi D brings his Breakin' Convention to New York City's Apollo Theater. Calling it an international festival of hip-hop dance theater, you'll see amazing street dancers from around the world showcase all the hallmarks of the genre: explosive energy, intricate step sequences, spot-on synchronicity and choreography that crackles with wit. Plus, award-winning choreographer Rennie Harris unveils his newest work, performed by Rennie Harris Puremovement Dance Company and the Brooklyn-based NL2.
