DANCE LESSONS WITH DP

My very first narration in the documentary that answered the worlds biggest question about Jookin while people were blowing up Jai's phone asking him...."Is that concrete they slidin' on?" This experience was full of adventure nd got the entire world of street dance inside our world of Jookin.

My second narration chronicles the history of Gangstawalk and the rise of Memphis Jookin as a nationally and globally known dance culture. It was a pleasure working with producer Ellis Fowler as he created an easy going storyline of a cultural dance uprising. The documentary includes interviews by legends and moguls of the culture in a story that leads to the highlight cultural event of the time. Watch the road to the Man of 1000 Moves Memphis Jookin World Championship where we witnessed the ascension of Charles "Lil Buck" Riley as the newest icon and cultural king.

Probably my favorite gig for life, I ended up not only teaching Gangstawalk choreography but also co-directing, assisting with Southern accent dialogue and hairdressing. This play production was about the last days of Hurt Village covering a family's history of struggle to survive in North Memphis. Everything turned out wonderful. One of the most successful production I have been a part of. A special thanks to the entire talented cast for the love you showed a "Memphis nigga like me. Ya hear me?" Hurt village featureed an entire vocabulary of Memphis Slang on a plasma screen at Signature Theater near Broadway.

My third narration was during the merger of Memphis Jookin culture and Subculture Royalty Dance Studio, Ryan Haskett teamed up with college film maker Phoebe Driscoll to revitalize the face of where Jookin has gone since the industrial boom of 2012.You get some upcoming stars of the culture as well as out of people that want to carry Tennessee culture across the nation.I enjoyed telling intimate stories about how I got where I was at that time.

In my latest interview, I sat down with Memphis enthusiast and documentary Eddie Bailey at Minglewood Hall. This interview involved talks of understanding Memphis Jookin from a cultural anthropological point of view. Memphis Majic premiered in the Spring of 2018 at the historic Stax Museum in South Memphis.

The thing about Jookin is that it always gets better but good is always good as well. Everything I ever produced as a DVD to sell is in this machine. All the hits. All the raw footage classics. When you say time capsule, this is what you mean. One day when we pop that hard drive out with a good ole bucket of popcorn and a box of Honey Nut Cheerios, this website will be complete. The arrival of such access is still unknown because it's been broken for years. Sorry.
