OTI at Boogie Jam

Over the Influence (OTI) is one of the most influential and well-known hip hop groups that have been around Vancity. Each dancer has made a name for himself in his realm of expertise whether it be wacking, voguing, house, boogaloo, popping or bboy. Late Sunday afternoon, the participants of the Boogie Jam workshop at Scotiabank Dance Centre got a surprise performance by OTI. It was a chance for OTI to test new material on an audience after rehearsing their pieces for only four days. They did not disappoint and delivered a visually stunning and moving performance. I was very interested in the theme and message they were trying to convey through their performance.
