street dance

A large group of dancers stand closely together in a studio, their bodies tilted in unison with heads falling dramatically to one side, creating a strong visual wave across the room. They are arranged in staggered rows that draw the eye from front to back, emphasizing their collective rhythm and connection. The black floor grounds the image, while the wall behind them bursts with bold, curving black outlines and sweeping pink brushstrokes, giving the space an energetic, almost theatrical backdrop.

Flow State: Less Recital, More Revival!

Emily “Lady Em” Culbreath

A church basement party-performance

An unseen person holds a colorful event flyer over a wooden surface alongside a DJ turntable an a pair of black sneakers. Vibrant and dynamic, the flyer depicts a sunset city skyline in the background and a breaker, wearing a teal patterned shirt and cargo pants, frozen in mid-air performing an impressive freeze. The title “End of Summer Jam” is boldly displayed in graffiti-style red lettering with the subtitle “1 vs 1 Breaking Battles” below it in black on yellow. The left side of the flyer is red and contains event details, including the date (08•17•25), time (Doors 3PM), and entry fee ($10). It also lists the venue — Philly Movements Dance Company in Philadelphia, PA — and mentions a $200 grand prize. Additional info includes the DJ (Jey Prime), the judges (Fierce One, B-Girl Gloh, and Mikey), and the host (Wrath of Khan). The overall design is energetic and urban, capturing the spirit of a Philadelphia breakin' competition.
