Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents "Memphis Jookin': The Show" featuring Lil Buck on Thursday, March 17, 2022.
Renowned dancer Lil Buck became a YouTube icon after director Spike Jonze uploaded a video of his improvisation with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Now he pays homage to his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, where the local street dance known as Memphis Jookin’ became a sensation. Lil Buck, eight extraordinary dancers, and a live DJ chronicle the dance form—and evoke the energy of the streets.
Lil Buck conceives, choreographs, and performs in this original 90-minute stage show that takes the audience on a journey to the fabled city where Memphis Jookin’ was born to document how the artform emerged from local street dance to international phenomenon.
Adults tickets are $35.00. Tickets for students with ID and youth ages 18 & under are $10.00.
