Hip-hop oriented dance styles did not originate in beautifully decorated ballrooms or on carefully polished ballet floors. They originate in spontaneous street parties, on dance floors in the dead of night and during training sessions in the little square behind the local mall. This is the classroom, studio and stage all in one.
More than twenty years ago, the little picturesque shopping center City Plaza in Nieuwegein was the birthplace of the Illusionary Rockaz Crew (IRC). From the first hip-hop pioneers of the 1980s, a handful of young dancers there learned the building blocks of a new dance language.
