MVRCK Ep 13 | Don't Let Urban Be Cancelled Recently the Urban Dance Community following the lead of Keone Madrid put out statements that they'll stop putting urban in any of their future branding. Now this is in light of the comments Tyler, The Creator said at the Grammy's earlier this year. Everyone just CHILL. While Urban may have perceived negative connotations in the music industry, the way we use urban in the dance community DOES NOT equate. For generations, many cultures have told their stories and expressed their lived experience through dance and music. This is our modern day version. Urban, while not picked from some arbiter or tribal council, just stuck and we need to welcome and cultivate it. In doing so, also recognizing its history and connection with Hip Hop, but not mistaking that Urban dance is its own thing. This is my open letter to the Urban Dance Community that in good intentions we're trying to do what it right and noble but not pausing and not being critical in thought as to what all of this actual means in context. All of this is indicative of cancel culture and just reacting without thinking. I, for one, am going to be the conservative voice because I want to keep the traditions, the stories, and shared experience we ALL together have built over three decades of Urban Dance. Bless up.
