Directed by Rokafella (renowned Hip-Hop breaker and co-Artistic Director of Full Circle Productions), Still Standing is a dance theater work created with students from Hostos Community College that fuses club and street dance styles, along with song and poetry, and incorporates the students' personal photographs to tell their inspirational stories of "going through and getting through" life's challenges. The work celebrates the mixed consciousness of first- and second-generation youth, because "if we don't tell our stories...who will?"

This production is the seventh in the Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture's two-year project, The Young Roots Performance Series, that showcases emerging artists experimenting with the artistic roots of Afro-Latino traditions to create new branches that reach into the future.Sponsored by the Hostos Community College Foundation with funds from the Rockefeller Foundation's NYC Cultural Innovation Fund, 2010-12. Additional support provided by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs
