There will be cash prizes, and a trophy award will be given to the winner of the battle, which takes place at 137 N. White Road. The event is called “Your Own Step.” A portion of the proceeeds from the event will go to the HHCF Back to School Project, which provides school supplies to children in the Bay Area.
“Our organization believes that all elements of Hip Hop (deejaying, rapping, graffiti and dance) are nonviolent forms of social empowerment “ said HHCF Founder Adisa Banjoko. ”Step Up Revolution shows how young people can take their artistic passion and better their communities. The California Dance Community is overflowing with talent and we expect a huge turnout. Every minute young people are with the HHCF is another minute we keep these wonderful kids off the streets. San Jose is known for its club and dance scene. Its going to be powerful.”
Dancers of all ages are welcome, and can register here.
