Experience real authentic dance history. The Memphis Urban Dance movement has evolved from the late 80ʼs pioneer style of Gangsta Walk into the popular performing arts phenomenon, Memphis Jookin since 2001. Organized and marketed by originators G-Style in the 1990ʼs, the Gangsta Walk never left Memphis and was re-formed by the young men of today. The style is publically known worldwide now because of the hard work of Wolf, Romeo and Hurakane way back then.

A supporter of Memphis Jookin uploaded the one of the first ever American urban dance style videos on Youtube i.e. . It is still one of the earliest non-commercial videos that have reached 1,000,000 views from all new style genres. The video represents an indisputable prophecy of what has come to pass in dance today in the world of dance. We brought the time machine to life, living on with one of the cityʼs last untarnished treasures of remarkable art. Thanks go out to all of the party promoters in Memphis for giving us an opportunity to win because we won on the stage and we are still winning now. The video features original members of the Memphis Jookin group known worldwide as G-ForceDaniel “DPKOM” Price
Terrance “G-Nerd” Smith,
Marico “Dr. Rico” Flake
Jonathan “Lil Black” Foster.

Before search engine optimization and “going viral” were publicly popular advertising themes, dancers could still get a lot of views on Youtube. In this most explicitly controversial video, Daniel Price blazed the dance floor in one the most re-watched urban dance videos of 2007-2008. The video lost potential when Youtube censorship laws came into effect soon after. The style kept moving on because Daniel and GForce had already done enough to break the best potential dancers through. Daniel went on to write the first ever manual for Memphis Jookin or any other new urban dance style in America. It is being interactively designed in order to connect the world to what it means when people say Jookin rather than other great styles like breakin, poppin, krumpin, turfin or flexin.

When Memphis Jookin became a nationally known dance style to commercial sources is when the one of the most influential urban dancers in Memphis today was brought to light. Marico “Dr. Rico” Flake, a Memphis born pioneer of Jookin since 2001 and local police officer made the way even easier for the dance style and community to increase value in the industry when he was featured in Round 1 on So You Think You Can Dance in 2008. His career as a dancer paved the way for many of the Memphis Dance Worldʼs key talents to become world stars with his scientifically creative, yet spiritual outlook of life with dance. He has helped develop the talents of many of his most worthy opponents in the Jookin arena.

On his ascent to the peak of world dance success, Lil Buck has carried the load of being a lone ranger in his ranks with his love of Memphis Jookin. He has taken the style every he has been across the world, but not before going on The Ellen Show and launching his superstar career.

In an unprecedented feat, G-Force became the first new age urban dance group to become nominated for best video performance and choreography by MTV, Soul Train and the Grammyʼs for Janelle Monaeʼs “Tightrope”. The video featured Ladia Yates, Marico Flake and Charles Riley.
