There is no such thing as a hip-hop 'gesture': urban social dances are imbued with their original musical universe, which is itself inseparable from a historical and cultural context.

If the dance carries the memory of the music, the music carries the memory of the dance. In multicultural urban contexts, how do dance and music mesh?
