KJHK, Oh!mr and INnate Sounds will present the dance-party Move!, a night of hip-hop, professional dancers and live art, 9 p.m. Saturday at the Bottleneck.
Move! will feature music performances by DJs Miles Bonny and Johnny Quest and MCs Stik Figa, Greg Enemy and DJ Spence.
The Tigerstyle Crew and the B-Boys, two professional dancing squads from Kansas City, will also perform, and Delight will provide live painting.
“A lot of people enjoy hip-hop and don’t know that it’s available locally,” said Rachael Gray, Blue Rapids senior and KJHK’s live events director. “We have a lot of local talent that are really good performers.”
The event is open to the public. Admission costs $5 to $7.
