Little known fact: in addition to movies from Japan where the bad guy turns into a giant vagina monster and movies where everyone has a gun in each hand at all times including even when they are eating breakfast, I also LOVE dance movies. Center Stage, Step Up, Street Dance, You Got Served, I love them all.
My love for watching dance even extends to the hit TV show So You Think You Can Dance. When Caroline were watching one of the more recent episodes, one of the dancers (Jaja, a krumper from the Czech Republic and my favorite person on the show) talked about how she got into American Style street dance from all the way across the ocean when she saw the film we're watching this week: Rize.
Take it away, Wikipedia: Rize is an American documentary movie starring Lil' C, Tommy Johnson, also known as Tommy the Clown, and Miss Prissy. The documentary exposes the new dance form known as krumping which originated in the early 1990s in Los Angeles. The film was written and directed by David LaChapelle.
See you at 7:30 at House Garry this THURSDAY (sorry about all of the back and forth). Pizza provided, bring your own movement clothes.
