The TweetBoogie Experience (World Premiere)

TweetBoogie Courtesy of the artist

Always representing the South Bronx, TweetBoogie is devoted to the street styles of hip-hop. She has worked with icons Jay-Z, LL Cool J, Shakira, Kanye West, Jasmine Sullivan, Nicki Minaj, and Janet Jackson, while keeping roots to the underground dance community. The TweetBoogie Experience, an ensemble of stellar dancers dives deep into Tweet’s connection to Black music, dance, history, and true hip-hop culture. It takes the audience on an imaginative journey from the streets of the South Bronx to all over the world and back again. Each piece tells a story from different chapters of Tweet’s life as a Black woman, creative artist, world traveler, and—best of all—a mother.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

The TweetBoogie Experience is co-presented by the CUNY Dance Initiative (CDI), an expansive program providing New York City choreographers and dance companies with residencies on CUNY college campuses. www.cuny.edu/danceinitiative
