They Reminisce

They Reminisce brings together some of Utah’s most talented Choreographers and Dancers. Through an original story and unique cast of characters, audience members will learn about the Hip Hop’s history and culture. This year we expand on the story about the Salt City Rockers. Following one crew’s journey examining Hip Hop’s success and their exploitation in the 80’s and the underground resurgence of the 90’s as they prepare for a competition.

After its inception in the 1970’s, Hip Hop culture exploded into mainstream culture during the 1980’s. Movies, music and fashion all begin to take notice of the new street culture from the Bronx. However, by the 1990’s the media had largely abandoned Hip Hop, with the exception of its music. This caused the culture to split; Parts of it stayed mainstream while others went underground. Leaving Hip Hop divided and unsure about which direction it would take.
