It’s a hip hop takeover at the Apollo as dancers from around the globe are on the stage, under the marquee, throughout the building during a jam-packed weekend of performances, family workshops and discussions that include DJ’s spinning, live graffiti art, film clips and special tributes to hip hop dance icons.

The Apollo Theater launches its first global festival in June 2013 with the North American premiere of Breakin’ Convention –a hip-hop dance theater festival produced annually by UK based, Sadler’s Wells.  Hip-Hop, which began as a distinctly American art form, in Bronx, NY, has extended its roots around the globe. This spring, the Apollo Theater and Sadler’s Wells London celebrate the global hip-hop dance theater culture with this four-day festival.
