Directed by Wills Glasspiegel
Storied Chicago footwork crew, The Era, got down with Vice’s dance site, THUMP, to film this crazy and in-depth documentary on the troop. It shows the Chicago footworking scene from a footworkers perspective. The film was shot and edited over the last year with director Wills Glasspiegel, the short features dance portraits of each member in The Era.
These guys are the real deal, so watch the premiere of the documentary below. If this doesn’t move you, nothing will.
Big up guys!! <3
I love this video! everything that Us Dancers do brings peace and happiness all over the world dancing is a passion that only a true dancer can feel. Dancing makes me feel so free it takes me to a place where I can totally be myself that’s what’s important too me In life is to always remain true to yourself. Footworking is a genre that was created here in Chicago that has transpired through the USA. What people fail to realize is that footworking is more than just dancing its a moment just like some creates The genre of breakdancing or ballets dancing , dancing salsa….etc
These all where dances that where created based of culture and the era of life that was happening at that Time Footworking has its own heart like any other dance but this genre is going to take off further than what people think.
I rather dance stay out of trouble the and make something of myself than rather to be a statistic! R.i.h Miah Rih Kendall Rih Michelle Lady-creation for life
