I love how Dance and History can inspire such thoughtful discussion among our students! This is excellent!!

Teacher, Washington Elementary

I just want to say a rousing THANK YOU to Hip Hop Fundamentals for bringing such an energetic and impactful and moving representation of the civil rights movement done through words and dance. Really I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a profound acting/dancing demonstration through the lens of Hip Hop ever, totally new and original and meaningful and FUN! Great job! Sometimes actions do speak louder than words and the words today were freedom, peace, unity, and love—what better and apropos message to send to our kids!

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!

Museum Educator, African American Museum in Philadelphia
