FOOTWORK HISTORY

The Chicago FootworKINGz (FWK) is an all-star dance ensemble featuring the best of Chi-Town’s footwork battle champs including members from local crews Creation and Heat Squad.

FWK was founded in 2007 by Leida “Lady Sol” Villegas as a professional dance company and website seeking to attract global recognition to “footworkin’,” a unique, Chicago born dance style. Footworkin’ evolved in the Black community as a response to House and Juke music (a sound developed from House music sped up to 160bpm). “This movement has been around for over 20 years and we want it to be exposed in the mainstream and all over the world,” says King Charles, co-artistic director of the FootworKINGz.

House of Dangerkat



One of the boldest innovators I've ever met is Kaiti Pasqualotto. I got introduced to her in Paris and got to know her better when she spent some time in Stockholm on her European tour. Kaiti just made the leap from Calgary in Canada to NYC... after much work and collaborations with talented dancers, photographers, designers (props to swedish Hege!!) etc. she made her dream project come true... ADDICTED is an expression of the freedom to be YOU to be FREE to be BOUNDLESS...

House of Dangerkat presents "The Making of Addicted", following the House in New York City this past July (2009) while creating "Addicted" for their world premier at Tribeca Grand Hotel August 1 2009. Addicted is planning a European Tour in Spring 2010...
