Described as an urban ballet for the 21st century, this Brooklyn-based company is made up of eight young women from the
United States and Japan who strive to move hip-hop out of the background of music videos and into the forefront of theatrical performance. DecaDance Theatre uses the vocabulary of hip-hop, much like traditional choreographers use the vocabulary of ballet,
to tell stories of the hip-hop generation. The dancers blend various underground dance styles, acquired in the clubs and on the streets of the cities in which they grew up.
