IN THE WURKZ is a touring dance project based on the lives and dreams of dancers on the West and South sides of Chicago. This evening-length show unveils a history of footwork dancing, tracing its development from "the holy ghost" – the first footwork dance move inspired by the motion of ghosts and spirit possession in church. IN THE WURKZ's mission is to honor the citywide, black teenage dance culture. A movement that keeps kids safe in dangerous neighborhoods across Chicago.
