NYC-based companies KR3TS (Keep Rising to the Top) and The Hood Lockers perform on the Henry J. Leir Stage for one night only as part of the Pillow’s “Hip Hop Across the Pillow” week-long mini-festival celebrating 50 years of hip hop.
KR3TS strives to broaden the notion of what a dancer is, and to promote the preservation of ethnic and cultural dances based in Spanish Harlem. The dance company provides a positive alternative to social and street pressures among children and young adults in lower and middle-income families in Latino communities of New York City, mainly by providing dance classes and support programs in a non-discriminating atmosphere. KR3TS also carries out its mission through its core-performance group that fosters pre-professional dancers.
The Hood Lockers formed in 2005 as a “group of brothers united in funk” who have devoted their lives to the cultural preservation and progression of Locking. Although the group’s members perform a variety of styles of street dance, their common purpose is an enthusiasm for the iconic early 1970s street dance created by Don “Campbellock” Campbell. Inspired by Don and the Lockers—the pioneers of this style—The Hood Lockers serve as educators and influencers of this culture, always inspired by the hunger for a deeper understanding of “the true essence of getting down.”
Tickets for most performances on the outdoor stage this summer are a pay-what-you-can suggested donation.
By the Way Berkshires is a digital magazine exploring creative life and community — art and performance, food and the outdoors — and I’m writing it for you, with local voices, because I’ve gotten to know this rich part of the world as a writer and journalist, and I want to share it with you.
If you’d like to see the website grow, you can join me for a few dollars a month, enough for a cup of coffee and a cider doughnut. Members get access to extra stories and multimedia, itineraries a bookmark tool. Let me know what you're looking for, and we’ll explore together.
