New Victory Arts Award recipient Rennie Harris returns for a record seventh time with "Nuttin’ but a Word", an electric dance piece that honors hip-hop’s roots, from February 15 - February 23, 2025.

Every step tells a story in sync with the rhythm, while the dancers command the stage with a mixtape of moves from b-boying to Campbell locking to house.

Nuttin' But A Word

Founded on Dr. Rennie Harris’s belief that hip-hop can express universal themes beyond racial, religious and economic boundaries, Rennie Harris Puremovement American Street Dance Theater aims to inspire future generations to preserve street dance culture and share it with their communities.

This piece will feature the dancers of Harris’ Puremovement American Street Dance Theater, based in Philadelphia.Their style merges traditional African dance with contemporary styles and marries hip-hop culture with street dance.

The show runs 60 minutes with no intermission and is recommended for ages 8+.
