Rennie Harris, praised by The New Yorker as "the most brilliant Hip-hop choreographer in America," returns to The Joyce with the New York premiere of American Street Dancer, a new commission that pays tribute to the profound influence of Street Dance on the arts. 

Well-known for painting rich tapestries of political, social, and economic history through movement, Rennie Harris weaves a vibrant blend of street and tap dance styles to highlight unique forms from across the United States, including Jitting (Detroit), Footwork (Chicago), and GQ (Philadelphia). American Street Dancer features a live hip-hop orchestra with a DJ, bucket players, and beatboxers, as well as an impressive line-up of acclaimed artists such as House of Jit, Creation Global, Akim Funk Buddha, DJ Razor Ramon, Ayodele Casel, and his company, Rennie Harris Puremovement American Street Dance Theater.
