dance means a lot to the community

Sisters Saving the City

534
00:23:01.963 --> 00:23:06.468
which is a youth recovery center in
Baltimore, Maryland.

535
00:23:06.551 --> 00:23:10.722
In Baltimore,
everything is dealt with hostile.

536
00:23:10.806 --> 00:23:12.349
Throughout Baltimore we meet a lot of kids

537
00:23:12.432 --> 00:23:16.561
who are very passionate but don't have
any direction.

538
00:23:16.645 --> 00:23:20.649
Something about the kids remind you of

539
00:23:20.732 --> 00:23:23.443
just how pure and genuine everything is.

540
00:23:23.527 --> 00:23:25.278
Ayonna came in, I thought she was,

just gonna be another young lady
that we taught.

542
00:23:27.531 --> 00:23:30.200
But then you start to see there's

543
00:23:30.283 --> 00:23:31.159
special things about them.

544
00:23:31.243 --> 00:23:33.036
You start to see how they cling to you

545
00:23:33.120 --> 00:23:35.497
because you're like the father figure
that they never had.

546
00:23:35.580 --> 00:23:39.292
They go from being strangers,

547
00:23:39.376 --> 00:23:41.670
to practically being family members.

I like working with BMore Than Dance

550

because dancing makes me feel like
I have talent.

551
00:23:52.430 --> 00:23:55.600
It helps me travel lots of places

552
00:23:55.684 --> 00:23:59.396
and it makes me feel like
I can get noticed

553
00:23:59.479 --> 00:24:01.022
by a lot of people.

554
00:24:01.106 --> 00:24:05.110
My dreams are to be a dance teacher and
teach other kids.

The heroin epidemic hit Baltimore
extremely hard.

You don't get too many situations

564
00:24:46.151 --> 00:24:51.198
where you're being requested not only
to perform,

you're better than everybody,
it takes a lot of heart.

Young ladies here, once they reach that,

life really starts to kick in,

we tend to lose the lady talent faster
than the guys.

570

The judges themselves look
specifically for

571
00:25:12.761 --> 00:25:15.222
the dancers to not only utilize

572
00:25:15.305 --> 00:25:20.644
the basics of Baltimore Club,
but also to show evolution

[Neek B'Chillin] Baltimore is a very
artistic city.

684
00:29:54.459 --> 00:29:58.129
These kids are the product of a generation

685
00:29:58.213 --> 00:30:02.842
that was trying to uplift this city
through music and art.

686
00:30:02.926 --> 00:30:06.262
King of Baltimore competition was the goal

687
00:30:06.346 --> 00:30:10.350
to put the very best of the best dancers
in this culture

688
00:30:10.433 --> 00:30:12.227
against each other in one night.

689
00:30:12.310 --> 00:30:13.853
No longer giving anybody the chance

690
00:30:13.937 --> 00:30:16.523
to just walk around claiming
to be the best,

691
00:30:16.606 --> 00:30:18.441
proving that they were the best.

692
00:30:18.525 --> 00:30:20.777
That was the ultimate goal for
King of Baltimore.

693
00:30:20.860 --> 00:30:24.447
We started off with a $500 cash prize,

694
00:30:24.531 --> 00:30:27.200
maybe 20 dancers who signed up.

695
00:30:27.283 --> 00:30:30.453
This year we had about 40, 45 guys.

696
00:30:30.537 --> 00:30:32.747
So they come in double the numbers,

697
00:30:32.831 --> 00:30:37.335
which means the odds of making it in
is twice as hard.

698

is a different story. [chuckles]

703
00:30:54.102 --> 00:30:56.187
I don't know what it is,
but for some reason

704
00:30:56.271 --> 00:30:59.983
we get these amazing stages
and they just want the DJ

705
00:31:00.066 --> 00:31:02.569
to be on stage while they're in the floor.

706

to the original setting

it sucks up a planet
