Molodi

The beginnings and the future!

This was the original NAACP unity step performance that inspired me to start stepping! I recorded it on VHS tapes, watched it and learned every single step. Umm…stealing or borrowing? LOL. How about SHARING — It’s part of the stepping culture.

- Jason Nious, President of Molodi and creator of Rhythm Cartel

Molodi’s roots is based in Greek Collegiate Stepping. In Aug of 1999 Rhythm Cartel was a non greek step team at the which later evolved into Molodi. Over the last 14 years we have added to who we are and what we are. We’ve added body percussion, tap, hand drumming, theatrical elements, hip hop elements, professionalism, and a sense of purpose. Molodi has evolved into a live art collective, a theater company. In our travels our environment has molded us and inspires us to reach and strive for more. But this video reminds us on where we started and where we are going.

CJ3 Strikes again at The V-Rioty Show!

mogreatness11 — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 01:01:32 +0000

Mr. CJ3 and new-found friend Philly Phil Vicars have join forces to make a brain trust of funk, they have made The V-Rioty Show their personal playground over the last two months. This month was a great showing and a highlight of the show. If you’re in L.A. or in ear shot or CJ3 show your love and support for Molodi’s own Chris Rutledge.

Oh! Chris teaches in the Los Angeles area at two different dance studios, Wednesdays @ Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio 5:00pm-6:00pm andThe EDGE Performing Arts Center 8:30pm-9:30PM in L.A. I strongly recommend you check the class out. See a splash of his genius and check his teacher’s page on facebook.

Spending Time With Khalid!

mogreatness11 — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 01:04:57 +0000

This is Khalid’s teaching reel, it highlight Khalid’s travel and some past workshops. Khalid is a world traveller and adventurer, he love to explore and experience new cultures plus revisit some of his favorite international and local spots. But I think what Khalid love the most about the traveling experience is the cultural exchange he gets everything he lands in a new state, city, and country. He lives the motto “When in Rome”

illegal in 47 States

This is an old video, the sequence is called illegal in 47 states. It started out slow and picked steam as we got closer to the end. Funny thing about the sequence is that we didn’t keep that way. We break it up and Jason made a step which we later called 47. But it give a glimpse on how we continuously work and re-work material. So much fun,

Director note: The music is a bit dodgy. Its a good thing we break it up and took another direction. because it was not clean. But you must understand it was a rehearsal. lol(excuses)

From Russia with Jayro!

Jason is getting settled in Moscow and the show is up and things are going well. If you on that side of the world you should take the time and take in a good show like Zarkana! They’re in Moscow now till APRIL 08, 2012. Check out some picture of Jason and Russia.

SLC finest!

This is a workshop Micah taught a sometime last year. Micah is a skilled teacher and choreographer and this video will give you a sample of that. But I think his love for music and dance is what you take away the most from meeting him.

One aspect that Jason really wants to highlight and illustrate about Molodi is that we all are very talented individuals. Adding these particle people together is a recipe for something unlike anything before or after it. We love to work with one another and its a mainly collaborative affect whenever we work together. We all bring bring something unique to us to the creative process.

Ladies and Gentlemen, It is time to spend time with one of the funkiest people in the world. Khalid Freeman is on one of the hottest tours in the US “The Immortal Tour“. Doing his brand of dance and energy nightly. One of the things I like to highlight about Khalid is his drive to teach and give the world his love. His love is music, dance, and rhythm.

Reblogged from Stepping Workshop:

I have a few goals for the upcoming workshop. 1. Fill the class- I want to give a discount to any one who brings three or more people to the class. Also extend a special class rate to Las Vegas’s entertainment industry. 2.Play something funky- I prided my self on every class being different, but there are familiar elements that are the same from class to class for people who came back. But my goal is the class challenges me and every one participating to set a goal as group and achieve as a group. for more …
