RENNIE HARRIS PUREMOVEMENT
AMERICAN STREET DANCE THEATER
Rennie Harris Puremovement American Street Dance Theater is the leading Street dance theater company in the United States, and for 30+ years has been dedicated to preserving and disseminating Hip-hop aesthetics and Street dance culture through workshops, classes, history, lecture demonstrations, long-term residencies, mentoring programs, and public performances. With his roots in the inner city, Harris and RHPM present unique stories that are riveting, intimate, and honest. RHPM’s mission is to re-educate the public about Hip-hop culture and Street dance through its artistic work, sharing the essence and spirit of Street Dance rather than the commercially exploited stereotype portrayed by the media.

His company has performed for the Queen of England, the Princess of Monaco, and were Ambassadors for the United States of America as part of President Obama’s cultural exchange program, Dance Motion USA, and toured Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Ramallah, Israel, and surrounding countries. Notably, Harris was recently commissioned to create a piece for the Joyce Theater Production’s Max Roach 100, an evening of commissioned works celebrating the iconic drummer, composer, and activist Max Roach.
