Central Park Christian Hip Hop Dancers
Dance Group, Central Park, Manhattan

I’m having trouble finding any more information on these dancers. It was a group of kids dressed in red, white, and blue dancing for tips to some kind of techno and hip-hop music. The songs that had words, seemed to have religious lyrics, but I don’t know if they’re a religious dance group.
