New York and Lima

Lima is a "melting pot" - a place where people come from different places and cultures...like New York. And these places are very important, where different cultures collide, a juxtaposition of tradition and modernity. From this comes innovation.

And it's here in the cities that people start to think about the social context of their situation, of their traditions... And they have to express it. The traditions feed the innovation.

The biggest thing in common between New York and Lima is the relationship between dance and the street.

I feed off the street - and the street feeds off me. When I dance something with a social message, I want to perform in the street. Because there I get a reaction from the street that's "real." And from that I get more information that feeds my understanding, my message.

It's the same with hip-hop. If I'm doing hip-hop, it's in the streets. The street IS the dance. The Campo IS the dance. It's all about where we are from. It's an attitude. It's how you breath and move here.
