(433) YungChris, street dancer, creator and teacher, on his new work at Performing Arts Houston

On today's episode of "Conversations On Dance" we are joined by street dancer, creator and teacher YungChris. Chris tells us about his early beginnings in dance, how stepping away during college refueled his desire to perform, and how traveling extensively feeds his creative impulses. The first artist to receive this commission twice, Chris is the creative mind behind one of three upcoming premieres at Performing Arts Houston's "New/Now" program, to be presented this March 6th and 7th.
