Life is the Club during Tictac’s Anniversary Week
by Archie Burnett
About the workshop:
“Life is the Club. The Club in my days was the safe haven for all us ‘misfits’ that just didn’t fit in society’s mold. I was fortunate to realise that you can be ‘IN’ the scene, but not ‘OF’ the scene. All urban Dance is important and relevant. It is the voice of today’s youth as it was generations before. Because it is real, it will have real perils if one doesn’t pay attention. My quest, so to speak, is to share a little of my life with you and hope that one will enjoy the beauty of being connected in the spirit of being free.” Archie Burnett
