What happens to hip hop when it travels from the streets of New York City to the Parisian-Arab suburbs, or to disaffected youth in the ex-soviet bloc? What is the role of belly-dancing in Yoruba ritual in Brazil? What does contemporary African dance look like? These are some of the questions we will ask as we trace a variety of contemporary dance forms from their place of origin across the globe.
