The Get Down

October 15, 2008
Arts&Entertaiment

Sat., Oct. 18, 3-8pm. $10. Community Education Center, 3500 Lancaster Ave. 215.387.1911. www.cecarts.org

Philadelphia has contributed greatly to the constantly evolving hip-hop dance culture. Our city gets props for innovating styles such as pop locking and breaking, as well as birthing newer dances like the Wu-Tang. Adding to this legacy is the Get Down. Presented by the producers of the film Raw Talent: A Philadelphia Hip Hop Dance Documentary, this dance party and battle attracts some of the most talented local dancers and allows them to showcase their skills. Want to do some damage to the dance floor and not your pockets? For a small fee, b-boys and b-girls can also compete for cash. Forget all the terribly choreographed moves you saw in cheesy movies like You Got Served and Step Up, and get down with the Get Down. This is the real deal. (Shahida Muhammed)

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view

Philly Quote from Rich Medina

Aside from the fact that it is the best city in the world, Medina says there is a challenge here." "People aren't easily impressed in Philly,"Medina explains. "It's a tough crowd and perfect if you like those challenges. The crowd is your face." (Hey, that's how we do it inPhilly.) richmedina.com
