JOA Plaza(163 Eileen Way, Syosset, NY)
Korean Cultural Service NY & JOA Communications co-present the B-boy Workshop with Last For One, internationally renowned Korean hip-hop dance troupe. With the introduction of B-boy history, Last for One will demonstrate the basic foundations of B-boying including Top Rock (the upright dancing and shuffles when B-boys enter a circle), Down Rock (dancing performed on the floor), Up Rock (a style of dance in which both dancers fabricate ways of beating the opponent using fictional weaponry), and other street dance techniques such as Locking and Popping. There will be a brief B-boy performance as well as a battle.
Last for One is the 1st place winner of the 2005 International Battle of the Year in Germany, which is the most prestigious B-boying competition in the world. They also received numerous prizes such as 1st place winner of Japan Battle of Hirapa in 2003, 1st place winner of 2005 Spain Underground Republic 3 to name just a few. They have performed around the world including U.S., Singapore, France, Finland, England, Mongolia, Angola, China. Last for One was also featured in the documentary film titled Planet B-boy.
“Truly breathtaking stuff” – Adam Ramsay, The Scotsman
“Spin Odyssey (Last for One’s feature length work) is the latest example of how a style many consider an ‘80s leftover…is being transformed into an international art form”
–Julie Bloom, The New York Times
