For 3 years, Dancin’ in the Streets celebrated HIV awareness each year. We would celebrate by having dj’s spin ( Rich Medina, Mike Nyce, Illvibe Collective ) with live music performance and dance performances ( Lady Alma, Ursula Rucker, Montazh, Capoeira groups ) all while educating the public on HIV and to also get tested! After taking a hiatus, this year we’re back. An evening that celebrates anonymous testing in a fun, social atmosphere with dj’s, live performances, vendors, live artists and so much more.
This year on the main stage at the new amazing Artists Piazza, outdoors at 2nd & Girard, will have Dj's Rich Medina & Mike Nyce spinning afrobeat, classics & soulful house music - along with dance performances from Philly’s flyest dance crews. Surrounding the space will be various artistic vendors as well as Philly’s greatest artists painting live. Across the space, there will be a truck for HIV testing and awareness information. Free gifts for the first 25 people to get tested!!! The event will be hosted by Philly MC, Ethel Cee & local well know friend, Oronde.
The space that we have chosen is really special. In it’s grand opening months, we will be one of the firsts to showcase such a great event at Northern Liberties new 60,000 sq ft gorgeous Outdoor Artists’ Piazza. A main stage, a huge HD movie screen, tons of space - this setting is something Philly has yet to experience!
