SLCene Suggests: BBoy Federation Presents: They Reminisce at the Rose Wagner

BBOY FEDERATION PRESENTS: THEY REMINISCE, ROSE WAGNER PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, Thursday, Jan. 9 and Friday, Jan. 10, 7 p.m., $15

Among the many things I never thought I’d see in SLC back when I first started bumping around this town as a teenager in the ’80s, you could probably list a local hip-hop dance crew pretty high. Yet the local BBoy Federation has spent years educating Utahns about the hip-hop dance style born in the streets alongside DJs, rapping and beatboxing. While the typical outlets for the Bboy Federations performances are local festivals, dance competitions and workshops, this week they are taking a special show to the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. They Reminisce is a dance lesson on the origins of hip-hop and the evolution of urban dance, and it should be a blast to see it on the stage of on one of the city’s premiere arts venues.
