Biography

Performed ROCKIN' IT at Breakin' Convention 09 | Sat 2 and Mon 4 May

UK Premiere

Performing for the first time in the UK, The VII Gems Rock Dance Division bring their story of theThe Rock – an original hip hop dance style that was the forerunner to breaking.

Featuring Ken Swift, a pioneer of the form and epitome of a b-boy, this is an incredible opportunity to see the originators of this legendary dance style rocking the house! The VII Gems Rock Dance Division is a part of the VII Gems Hip Hop movement, which celebrates Hip Hop culture’s original elements of DJ’ing, MC’ing, Writing, and Breaking. The division involves members of several different original crews and neighbourhoods primarily from Brooklyn New York, but also from the surrounding boroughs in New York City.

With their debut in 2006 the Rock Division is based on the education and preservation of an incredible dance style from New York called “Rock” or “The Rock Dance”, but known to many as “Up Rock”.
