Turf Feinz: Breaking Down Walls
These guys are known as Turf Feinz (Oakland, CA) – a neighborhood group trying to make a difference in their area. We all know the scene: They’re surrounded by varieties of difficulties that can plague inner city life. Yet here, instead of giving in or giving up, they are out to make a difference by expressing their creative light that shines within – and they are sharing that with all…
The significance of this particular video is that this street corner is the site where one of their friends was killed in a car accident. They wanted to honor his memory.
Here is what they say about themselves on their Facebook page:
We organize dance battles to organize young people, provide a safe space for entertainment and continue the advancement of turf dancing as a street culture and a recognized art form.
I just love how they each wait, listen and allow each other to ‘have the floor’ to say what they feel.
