STRATA member Bill Bramble has embarked on a long-term documentary project examining the hip-hop dance crews, underground “battles,” and hip-hop dance subculture of Washington, DC. This project will focus on the life and times of a DC-based dance crew called “OBEY” that specializes in “Beat ya Feet”, a style of dance native to the Chocolate City.  By photographing the group’s members, Bill plans to shine a light on this unique aspect of DC’s cultural legacy and the lives of some of the city’s young residents who are coming of age during a period of rapid social change. Stay tuned for periodic updates.
