Ukrainian choreographer Greg Chapkis guided multiple dance crews to medals during an international competition despite the situation back home.
At Hip Hop International’s USA Dance Championship this past weekend, hundreds of kids and adults from around the country cheered , waved flags and danced in their seats and onstage at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel and Convention Center. The energy was palpable. Even for the older crowd gathered to see children and grandkids compete, it was, dare we say it, infectious.
“This is a completely new generation. My team is well-known and has a huge legacy. We won six years ago, so now the kids that were watching on livestream are now stepping up. For me, it was a test. I just wanted to see how they do. They’re younger. First-timers. Rookies.” His crews did exceptionally well “for him,” said one of the dancers. They honored their mentor and teacher as they displayed the Ukrainian flag before their performances.“Ukrainian flag wasn’t in the original plan at all. But I felt like as soon as I saw [the routine] with the flag, it was meant to be,” Chapkis said.
“It is bothering me. Nobody believed that this would happen. Nobody believed that it was possible. I did travel to Russia and Ukraine all the time for work. I have students everywhere. And for those countries to be in conflict like this is insane to me. It’s nobody’s fault. It’s just the people on top. Now it just needs to stop. For me, I’m going to express that and spread awareness through what I do. I felt like Hip Hop International is the perfect platform to send that message.
