Press Excerpts
“Crazy Smooth and Bboyizm have effortlessly bridged the distance from the street to the stage. Fusing influences of street dance and hip-hop into a modern dance context, they are creating a new extremely physical world that is theatrical, virtuosic and urban at its very core. Touring with performances, workshops and outreach activities throughout Canada, Bboyizm has built a profile and following from coast to coast to coast.”
Jeanne Holmes, Artistic Producer, Canada Dance Festival
“The back flips and high-octane floor and foot work that make B-boying so exhilaratingly watchable are here. But [Crazy Smooth’s] vignettes, set to a range of music, go deeper than tricks, paying with the roots of hip-hop and other street forms.”
