CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENTS
Youth Empowerment Through The Eyes of

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

  • Student Participation

    Kids learn best when they can actively take part in what they’re studying. Instead of just reading about the Civil Rights Movement, this program lets students experience those lessons through dance, music, theater, and storytelling. It makes history come alive in a way that sticks and helps students connect on a deeper level.

    What makes this program special is that it’s not only fun but engaging. It also challenges kids to think in new ways. With plenty of on-stage participation in a safe, family-friendly setting, students walk away excited, inspired, and more connected to the history they’re learning.

  • Black History is American History

    Our program shows students that Black history is American history, and that the experiences, struggles, and contributions of Black leaders are part of the story we all share. Through an engaging mix of history and Hip Hop, the performance introduces young people to the heroes of the civil rights movement while connecting those lessons to a culture that continues to inspire and empower kids today. It’s a learning experience that blends education, music, and movement in a way that truly connects with students.

  • Dynamic Dance Theatre

    Dynamic Dance Theatre takes big ideas—like history, social justice, and cultural identity—and turns them into performances students can actually see and feel. Instead of being abstract, the lessons come to life on stage, making them memorable and meaningful.

    Energy and expression: The dancing is bold, physical, and full of emotion, keeping kids engaged from start to finish.

    Storytelling: The choreography is built around real themes—whether historical, cultural, or social—so students connect both intellectually and emotionally.

    Blending art forms: Dance mixes with music, theater, design, and even audience participation, creating a powerful learning experience for schools and communities.

Thanks for bringing Hip Hop Fundamentals to the African American Museum in Philadelphia for Martin Luther King Day. It’s great to host an activity that engages everyone in the audience, and this was one of one of those activities. From the children and adults who got up to join in, to their friends and family clapping in the audience and taking pictures, it’s clear that your program was more than just something to sit through—people “got” it. The level of energy brought by all the performers kept the dynamic high, and did it in a way that still brought home the message of Dr. King and the goals of the Civil Rights Movement. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!”
