The Big Toe break dance crew will perform their new “Change of Emotion” show on September 9 and 10 at Youth Theater, 11 Ngo Thi Nham Street in Hanoi.
The crew aims to raise hip hop street arts to a different level by popping, locking, and hip hopping and using traditional costumes to tell contemporary stories. Founded in 1992 with just seven members when hip hop first arrived in Vietnam, the crew has grown to 60 members. Big Toe is the country’s leading hip hop crew winning many national and international awards such as the 4th dancers (SEA Hip hop Competition 2005-6); One in 16 top dance groups (Floor War 2006 – Hip hop European Competition); Champion of Vietnam Boty 2009; The 4th prize (Asia Boty 2009); Best showcase and top 8 (Floor the Love 2010) and Champion prize (R16 SEA 2010).
Recently, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism recognized hip-hop as an art and plans to develop it nationwide. It is a remarkable achievement for Vietnamese hip-hop fans and dancers. The recognition is in part due to the work of Big Toe.
