2007 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Emiko's project, the B-girl Challenge, will train eight women in Philadelphia to improve their breakdancing ability by staging a ten-week breakin' training. The women will attend local dance competitions and performances to test their skills during the training program. Emiko hopes to teach the women to be more well-rounded performers, teachers, and role models for youth in Philadelphia. She also plans to begin developing an arts and culture exchange program between Japan and the United States via the art of breakin'.
