Kwikstep traveled to the University of New Mexico for community engagement and education work connected to the Breakin Hearts event. He spent time with UNM dance students, connected with local breaking community leaders, and led a workshop for kids.
This is how the culture spreads the right way. Real exchange, real listening, and real building across generations. Much love to the Albuquerque community for welcoming him in and keeping the dialogue moving beyond NYC.

We took it back to our 2019 Hip Hop Meets House 2nd edition at WallWorks on Bruckner Blvd. Featuring Kwik, Kaleaf, Crikit, Peaches, LaRoka, Just Sole and Queen Danita, that night was about unity between scenes that grew side by side. Supported by the Bronx Council on the Arts with artwork by TATS CRU, it still stands as a reminder of how strong the culture gets when we build together.

We revisited our Kwik2Rok episode featuring Grandmaster Caz and DJ Melstar. Even two years later, the message stays timely. The conversation centered on staying true to Hip Hop, protecting the culture, and understanding the responsibility that comes with longevity.
Some episodes deserve another listen. When pioneers speak, we listen.

Mantis hosted another Bgirl Herstory Live session, this time with Candy Bloise to talk about her new podcast Cafecito con Candy and to share more of her bgirl journey. Women telling their own stories in their own voices will always matter. If you have not tapped in yet, show love, follow the work, and support the platform.

Flonetik was out in Boston judging and teaching at Pack The House presented by NUBreakers. The format was 1v1 Juggernaut with the top 16 seeded into 3 to smoke groups, ending in a final battle for the cash prize.
Beyond the battles, what stood out was the exchange. Flonetik shared knowledge with the next generation, pushed them through drills, and gave them a taste of what the training looks like at 360 Flow. Salute to the NUBreakers staff for holding a strong event and keeping the youth engaged.

Rokafella joined the opening of a new exhibit at the Museum of Bronx History exploring dance cultures in the Bronx from 1970 to 1984. Salsa, Hustle, Rocking, Burning, Breakin, Disco, Boogying and more were highlighted through rare photos, memorabilia, oral histories, and video footage.
It was powerful to see the Bronx telling its own story. The history was in the room, and the legacy continues to be preserved with care and respect.
