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.
