FRESH Movement: Philip Cariaso Jr's Movement Project: Dapper || Sex || Linguistics

I've been honored to be a part of the Movement Project's latest project: "Dapper Sex Linguistics." The artistic direction, entire concept and vision was brought together through the connections of the last 10 years of inspiration of Philip Cariaso Jr.

Definitely a project for the memory books. It's good to see that there is a mutual respect for a lot of the old timers in the dance community like myself.

Cheers to my Oxnard and Long Beach roots who were able to help make this video a success!

Some of the many crews that reppped: OG Non-Stop, Non-Stop 2.0, PAC Modern, Culture Shock LA, KABA Moder, TM, Sick-Step, Barkada Modern, CADC, Poreotics, Chill-Factor, All-That Crew, and many more.

Enjoy the clip and make sure the check out the previous installments of the Movement Project on Philip's Youtube Channel.

Here is a short description of the video quoted from Enerjon:

"This is Dapper Sex Linguistics, a concept piece that my good friend Philip Cariaso Jr. put together for his group, The Movement Project. A true visionary and artistic mastermind that brought together a "Who's Who" of past and present male choreographers and dancers over the last 20 years into one special project. You can call it a reunion / bridging the gap of sorts...from people I used to compete and battle against in college (yes, I use to dance and choreograph lol a 'la my lovely fam, Pac Modern) to some who I've had the honor with performing with over years...AND especially those who I have had the pleasure to watch grow over the years in their own success while on the sidelines and "behind the scenes." This was a true honor to share this little moment with this ensemble that came from San Diego, the Bay Area, and even as far as London just to be a part of this project. From television shows, movies, music videos....Philip was able to bring together some of the dance talent behind Bruno Mars, Christina Aguilera, Black Eyed Peas, and Chris Brown videos (to name a few) to even household names from America's Got Talent and America's Best Dance Crew....all under one roof."
