Chrybaby Cozie & Harlem Lite Feet
ChrysolationA Hip Hop freestyle dance bursting with fast feet and stories of community.
Harlem Lite Feet pioneer Chrybaby Cozie and members of the renowned Bomb Squad dance through their lived experience of the origins and evolution of this vibrant NYC dance tradition.
The two-part experience starts in the Daryl Roth Studio Theater and transitions into a freestyle dance cypher for all at the Top of the Hop. "Get lite" and dance in the New Year.
Litefeet, also known as "getting lite," is a dynamic street dance style that originated in Harlem and the Bronx in the early 2000s. The term "Litefeet" reflects the dance's emphasis on light, rapid steps that give the impression of weightlessness.
Commissioned by Works & Process, Chrybaby Cozie has created Chrysolation with Works & Process residencies at Potash Hill (2025 and 2026), and developed Chrysolation with support from 92NY as part of the inaugural Uptown Rhythm Dance Festival, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts Jerome Robbins Dance Division, Hi-ARTS, and administrative support from Creative Netwerk
