ACJU Summer Dance Workshop

This performance took place at the closing ceremony of a 3-week summer program in Chimalhuacan, Mexico. Most of the students of this hip hop dancing workshop had never participated in a choreographed dance prior to this. Through hard work and dedication they were able to perform a dance that was based on the story they wanted to tell...

The story revolves around the harmfulness of drugs, alcohol, violence in their communities and the loneliness of youth as they hide behind a false identity. The removal of the bandanas from their faces symbolized the liberation from these evils, allowing them to express their true selves. To practice their self-expression, the last minutes of choreography consisted of moves they created on their own. The dance ends with the full removal of their bandana, symbolizing the casting of their burdens completely.

Thank you to Transformacion Urbana Internacional (TUI) and Agentes de Cambio JUvenil (ACJU) for giving us the opportunity to teach the wonderful youth of Tepalcates... and a BIG THANKS to everyone who supported us (through prayer and finances) and helped us make this vision into a reality!
