Later this month, Memphis Jookin: The Show comes to WMPAC. Enjoy an evening of exhilarating street dance on Saturday, February 25th, beginning at 7:30pm. Advance tickets range $20–$55.
Conceived and choreographed by renowned dance artist Lil Buck, this performance is an ode to Memphis, Tennessee – birthplace of the singular dance style known as Memphis Jookin’. The show takes audiences on a journey to the fabled city to chronicle how the artform emerged from local street dance to international phenomenon. The production stars a cast of highly skilled Memphis Jookin’ dancers and a DJ performing to a soundtrack that evokes the energy of the streets, the hallways and the clubs where this distinctly American artform was born.
