You’re never too old to take the first step.
Hip Hop-eration follows a troupe of courageous, yet cheeky, senior citizens on an extraordinary quest to perform at the World Hip Hop Championships in Las Vegas. Led by their exuberant and ‘I must have been mad’, manager Billie Jordan they learn to throw away their wheelchairs and walking sticks and push their bodies and artificial joints to the absolute limits of old age.
The dance crew use hip hop dance as a vehicle to not only form stronger connections with young people but to also promote attitudinal change in our society towards aged persons.
