Hip-Hop's Favorite Choreographer Wants More Vulnerability
Huff PostAs we close out the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, it’s only fitting to pay homage to not just the rappers and singers who paved the way but also the creatives who sculpted the culture on the dance floor.

He was performing “Give Me The Loot.” That experience with her opened my eyes up to a whole new world I didn’t even know really existed or that I could be a part of.
