The SESSIONS DVD

August 31st, 2010

It wasn’t enough to make the movie…. No…
We over at B-GIRL HQ had a predicament on our hands — “What do we do with all the amazing dance footage and extras we couldn’t put in the movie?”

“Donate to Katrina relief!” one suggested.  Okay…
“Make a pretty hat!” someone else offered.

I like your energy, but…

We decided to cook-up something unique for the inner-circle –  the kids, the newbies and the die-hards.
It’s The Sessions DVD.

Sessions DVD Pak Shot
Insights, instructions and extra bonus features not in the film – whether you’re trying to learn history and fundamentals, or want to see how dance is made into a Hollywood movie, or watch a world-championship battle.   Over an HOUR all BRAND-NEW.

The highlight are the Cypher Sessions – concentrated, back-to-back moves from the b-boy stars including FleaRock, Steelo, Legacy, Remedy, Flipz and more.  Want to learn breaking from the best?  Now’s your chance!

The Dance of B-GIRL tells how we choreographed, rehearsed and filmed it all – b-boy battles to free-running to salsa and lyrical hip hop.  This brand new documentary has new interviews from the Beat Freaks and more, plus never-before-seen footage from the rehearsals and the set.

In Road to the Champions – watch our cast (Flipz, Flea, Beastmode, Venum and more) travel to London to win UK B-BOY CHAMPIONS 2009.  Watch their training, focus and skill in the circle.  Don’t miss battle footage vs Jinjo from Korea and Top 9 from Russia!

The B-GIRL Story

June 25th, 2010

There are many stories of B-GIRL.  But the most important one is why we made the movie — we wanted to depict the b-boy/b-girl world with accuracy, integrity and respect.

Hear the stars of B-GIRL and more talk about the accuracy of B-GIRL and the collaboration and creativity that made it possible.

Live from the B-GIRL Red Carpet!

The Style Issue: Originators Gear

March 11th, 2010

Style Files episode one… The Originators.  Check out this reel of gear from The Originators in B-GIRL… it’s like a fashion show!

Have to give massive thanks to Adam at the Originators, he believed in the film and really supported us.
Another little insider 411 on independent filmmaking — Wardrobe is reeeeeeally expensive, and when great companies like The Originators support we get to represent our friends and true brands while everyone on-screen looks fly.  Win-win!

Fashionista love,
(soooo not for anyone who knows me!)

Dance & Hollywood

March 3rd, 2010

It’s a great time to be in hip hop and in Hollywood – the creativity, skill and attention to the dance is like never before.  New people are seeing breaking for the first time on TV and in the movies and it is gaining respect as the legitimate art form that it is.  It’s also a time of unparalleled creativity – cutting-edge choreographers are pushing the limits of the mainstream definition of ‘hip hop’ – being emotional, telling a story – but also being rooted to the history and the cypher.

But with great power comes great responsibility…
We’ve got to make sure representations are accurate and artists are united.  Hear thoughts on this Lady Jules and the Beat Freaks; Legacy, Kathryn and Ellenore from So You Think You Can Dance; Jon Chu, Director of Step Up 2 and 3D; the stars of B-GIRL and more, all from the B-GIRL Red Carpet!

Speaking of Hollywood… BIG NEWS!! Our amazing choreographer Flipz (Ivan “Flipz” Velez) will be performing at the OSCARS on Sunday, March 7th. Tune in, TiVo, turn off the phone because Oscars ain’t never seen nothin’ like Flipz.  (Scorsese, from the front row: “that guy! I’m gonna make that guy a star!”)
