This is a preview for an upcoming feature story about the Bay Area's newest dance form: TURF dancing. We will explore the origins, style and evolution of this mode of creative self-expression by sharing the lives of 4 young TURF dancers from Oakland: Looney, Chonkie, Eninja and NoNoise. This multimedia story is part of an ongoing citizen journalism project at the Youth UpRising community center in East Oakland. It is produced by Yoram Savion, Kash Gaines and their students in the Youth UpRising Multimedia Literacy and Production program (YU Media-LP). Spring 2008.
