Pandemic forces S.F. International Hip Hop DanceFest to online stage
San Francisco Chronicle
Attending Sunday afternoon’s installment of the San Francisco International Hip Hop Dance Fest, I walked out of the Palace of Fine Arts with: (1) The biggest smile I’d had on my face since election day; (2) Major regrets that I hadn’t attended the 17 previous years of the festival....The audience was rapt. Kids were squealing with delight; adults feeling the beat pondered their own backs, shoulders and hips.
Crazy high energy abounds whenever the San Francisco International Hip Hop DanceFest takes to the stage
These days, hip-hop dance has secured a spot on the proscenium, and no one has done more to elevate the art form than Micaya
Dance crews from all over the world came with breath taking skills and blew the crowd away. The dance performances were so well thought out and executed that they told clear, touching, stories...This isn’t your typical abstract, interpretive dancing, it’s dope modern beats, athleticism, heart, and very ‘now’.
