Before coming to Vietnam, the “In the Middle” hip hop show by the all- female French group, Swaggers, will display the latest approach to this dance genre on June 6, in 8 p.m at the Samsung Hall at SM Aura Premier in Taguig.
A joint project of Alliance Française de Manille, together with the Embassy of France to the Philippines and SM Aura Premier, the performance will give mallgoers a different perspective of hip hop and also raise funds for the benefit of the housing projects of France-Philippines United Action Foundation (FPUA). FPUA has completed two rehabilitation sites in Northern Cebu for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) and part of the proceeds of “In the Middle” will go to the building of third village in Bogo City, Cebu.
“In the middle” is a beautiful symphony between movement, body language, music, costume and light, in which the performers explore the journey of finding the inner balance that we seem to have forgotten in modern times. Images of Western beauty are incorporated with elegant and sensual dance moves to create a breath-taking performance.
Theatregoers will have a chance to enjoy different perspectives of hip hop, blended with krumping - a type of street dance style popularised in the US, and house dancing.
The six-member of Swaggers group was founded in 2009 by talented French dancer and choreographer Marion Motin. The Swaggers won the Dance Delight Contest in France in 2010 and first runner-up at the Hip hop International in Paris the same year. They then topped the Hip hop Games Contest in Lille, France in 2012.
Marion Motin is dubbed as choreographer of the stars and the star of choreographers. As a cross-border choreographer from classical music to Hip Hop, Motin has worked with international pop singers such as Madonna, Stromae and Christine and the Queens.
