Get to REALLY know Hip Hop …

To all of our students and fans of Hip Hop …
Hip Hop is not just a dance or musical style. It is a culture which has been developing in the Black and Latino communities over the last 40 years. For those of us within the culture, Hip Hop informs and is expressed through every aspect of our lives. Over the years, we have begun to share our culture with increasingly larger circles of people throughout the world. As with any cultural exchange, we hope that what we share will be understood, appreciated and respected by the world around us.
If you want to be a part of Hip Hop, take some time to know it beyond what you see in the media (http://www.hiphop-history.org/history-of-hiphop/). Like all cultures, the history and origins of Hip Hop are beautiful, complex and well worth the time invested to gain a deeper understanding. True respect and appreciation then follows understanding.
If you are reading this, you are already part of the journey. Where you go now is up to you.
All Love – FUNKMODE
