In this episode, Cue speaks on the history of street dance culture in NYC, specifically the disappearance of the club dance culture during the 1990's. Old laws taken off the shelf to criminalize dance in order to take down bigger crimes in the name of "quality of life" and "broken window theory"...crazy! All of this and more are talked about! Join the conversation by subscribing, sharing the episode, and leaving a comment!
Em and Cue are back with an iconic elder in the street dance community, founder of Ladies of Hip-hop Festival, Michele Byrd. Discussions surround the street dance community's response to a blackface incident during a Russian twerk camp. How the street dance community should engage with acts of ignorance, who constitutes as an elder, and who was the first hip-hop company to win a Bessie award are all hot topics in this one, so come join us in the conversation!

Once again, in 2019, black and brown dance is used to degrade black and brown people. This time it was done in Russia during an all-white twerk competition. Certain leaders in the street dance community came together to write an important response letter. Cue delves into the letter to inquire about the state of the prime people (black and brown people)within the NYC street dance community.
For the first LIVE episode, Em and Cue dive headfirst into the role of females in street dance culture with special guest, Nubian Néné! What are the limitations females are placed within? How do they perpetuate those limitations and how do they breakdown/through them? How do gender relations and power dynamics show up in the street dance community? Important questions, this episode is just the beginning of the discussion. Join in the conversation!
This week, Cue and Em talk about their challenges to financially stabilize themselves through the profession and craft of dance. Questions of what is success in street dance, and how does academic education help or hinder one's success are all on the table this week. This podcast serves as an introduction to a new segment going forward, "The Poor Dancer," where we'll ask interviewees how they are defining and achieving their version of success through dance.
You need a keen ear for this one! We continue our conversation about "crabs in a barrel" mentality with a very special guest, NYC's own Michael "Wolf" Diaz! Join us as he reveals his love and respect for his craft...and listen as he drops some knowledge BOMBS that shed some serious light on NYC street dance history and culture. As always, WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
This episode, Cue and Em discuss the crab mentality-- a mindset of "if I can't have it then neither can you"-- within street dance culture. Discussions move through what is the crab mentality, how has it/can it/does it manifest in the street dance communities, and what the collective can do to move beyond this toxic way of thinking.
We continue our conversation surrounding battling and ego, with decorated battler and prominent practitioner - Virgil "Lil'O" Gadson! Lil' O shares his insight on what it means to be an active street dancer in the battle scene, how he views and values himself within his battling, how ego becomes necessary in a battle, and how (if ever) he thinks ego may "cross a line." Check out this insightful conversation, and as always, we'd love to hear your thoughts! Let's keep the conversation going!
Cue and Em leave the typical episode protocol aside to discuss controversial topics surrounding race, "the system," white fragility, and our options as we aim to move forward. This one gets deep! Let's keep this conversation going! Let us know your thoughts!
Time to BATTLE! What is battling? Does one need to battle in order to be a part of street dance cultures? How does battling test one's ego? When can a sense of ego take a battle too far? In this week's episode, Cue and Em discuss battle culture and it's role in the street dance communities.
There is an international b-boy federation seeking to take control of the organization of breakin' in the Olympics! Join us in our conversation as we speak about this, and more, with iconic leader- B-boy Kid Glyde!
The proposal for breakin' to be a sport in the 2024 Summer Olympic Games has just been approved by the International Olympic Committee. In this episode we discuss how the sport will be judged, how power and access will affect breakin' olympians, and how the breakin' community can fight against another potential exploitation era.
Welcome to The Good Foot Podcast, where controversial topics surrounding the street dance community are dissected, as we aim to uncover the "raw and real for the communal ideal," we also strive for a more unified front by looking back to move forward.
