IN HONOR OF MEMORIAL DAY: During World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt pledged that Filipinos who fight for the United States will be granted citizenship and military benefits. As a result, over 200,000 Filipinos fought side by side with American soldiers during World War II. Shortly after the war ended, that promise was taken back with the Recission Act of 1946. It was not until 2009 when President Obama signed a bill that would give Filipino World War II veterans a lump sum compensation of $15K ($9K for those living in the Philippines) to the less than 18,000 veterans who are still alive today. Yes, such an amount is not commensurate to the benefits they missed out on for over 50 years, but yet to this day a majority of them still have not received such meager compensation. So, LET US REMEMBER THE FILIPINO VETERANS WHO WERE NOT ONLY VICTIMS OF WORLD WAR II, BUT ALSO VICTIMS OF INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM.

I really hope to see everyone come out for this event!
I worked really hard to put this together, and this is my first event with Consensus Entertainment since they hired me. Body Rock was amazing yesterday, and as we all know, the junior dance community works just as hard. Come through for a night of dope talent and inspiration. See what inspires us to do what we do.I will be releasing the trailer soon.
There will be workshops on June 8, 15, and 22.
They will be Studio FX, PASACAT Dance Studio, and Studio 429.
The teachers will consist of dancers on junior dance crews, and they’re all collaborative. (i.e. iDK x 429, NvS x FX)
Stay tuned for the flyer for that too!SUMMER!!
