Lite Feet Dance and Culture with Ki-Nen
05/04/20 • 46 min
In this episode we speak with Lite Feet dancer Ki-Nen in New York City. You might be very familiar with Lite Feet, or you may just know it as the dance you see on the subway, but there is so much more than that.
In this episode Ki-Nen shares a wealth of knowledge about the history of Lite Feet, the names of the movements and vocabulary, the importance of the music, and fashion as well as the shoes Lite Feet dancers wear.
I’m so stoked I was able to sit down with him and pick his brain about the Lite Feet community and culture. Get ready to dive into the world of Lite Feet and soak up the knowledge with our next guest, Ki-Nen.
