The Principles of Hip Hop

Explore Hip Hop's rich cultural history and how underserved inner-city youth changed the world. As our longest-running program, this show focuses on youth empowerment, diversity, creativity, and working together, embodied by Hip Hop's four principles: Peace, Love, Unity, and Having Fun!

Civil Rights Movements

This ground-breaking program focuses on student involvement in the American Civil Rights movement through dance, audience participation, and a variety of interactive activities. We tackle racism, segregation, and the struggle for freedom in a safe, fun, family friendly atmosphere of Hip Hop. 

Breaking: The Laws of Physics

Ready to learn Physics in a brand new way? This interactive assembly program teaches States of Matter (solid, liquid, and gas) through breakdancing.

Dancing molecules, interactive 'experiments', and genuine fun all come together to provide K-8 students with a science experience they'll never forget. 

Hip Hop for Health

This assembly's message is to 'eat healthy, drink healthy, and move more'. But making healthy choices can be difficult for young people. This interactive program follows one young man's journey through a typical school day. What choices can he make and what are their consequences?
