Hip Hop Comes to Canal City

March 14, 2008 Fukuoka - Three Hip Hop dancers from American Voices kicked off their tour of Japan with two performances on the Sun Plaza Stage at Canal City, Fukuoka’s popular shopping and entertainment complex. Although the performances were envisioned to expose youth to Fukuoka American Center’s programs, they attracted spectators of all ages. When it came to the audience participation portion of the program, we were happy to see toddlers, teens, and even people in their golden years join the fun. After Japan, the dancers – Michael Park Masterson, Quae Simpson and Brian Jones – set off for Korea and Vietnam.
