Homegrown experts in Krumping, Waacking, Vogue and Hip Hop dance styles are about to be celebrated in a new dedicated event. THE NEST: Street Styles Solo Festival is the first of what the organisers hope will be many. It's aimed at bringing in new audiences for street-style dancing, as well as offering a rare opportunity for the dancers. They're all being commissioned to create new work for the week-long event at Auckland's Basement Theatre. The dancers are used to the streets of Tamaki Makaurau being their performance space. Ooshcon Masseurs is one of the The Nest's organisers. Lynn Freeman talks with him, and with one of the dancers shoulder-tapped to present a new work, Hayley Walters-Tekahika, who's also an actor, teacher and youth worker. THE NEST: Street Styles Solo Festival is on at the Basement Theatre in Auckland, starting this Tuesday.
